What Will Be Your Eulogy (10 of 11)
Series: Joseph, Seeing the Good in God's Detours
Tim Badal
Genesis 47-50
We're now in the next to the last week in our series called ''Joseph: Seeing the Good in God's Detours.'' Next week we'll pull everything together after going through this roller coaster that was Joseph's life. What we've learned through all the ups and downs in Joseph's adventures is that God was actively involved in his life-and He is in our lives as well. God is uniquely concerned about the minute details of everyday life. He's with us in both the good times and the bad-even in the ugly times when we may feel isolated and alone.
Through this story we're learning something the Apostle Paul would say many years later to the church in Rome-that God works all things together for good (Romans 8:28). But in order to see that, we often need to look from God's perspective rather than our own. Only then can we understand that God uses the difficult times in life to orchestrate His beautiful goals, which we see in Joseph's life over and over again.
Today we'll be in Genesis 47-50. We'll take the spotlight off Joseph and put it on his father Jacob. We sometimes see that on TV shows. After a long season, they sometimes move the story off the main character to one of the supporting cast members, so we can get to know something about their life as well. Today we're looking at the last days of Jacob's life. I've never preached any message like this before in my almost 15 years of pastoring, but I believe it's an important one. I'm excited to see what God has to say to us, even though the subject can be both delicate and somber.
Today we'll be answering the question: What will be in your eulogy? We'll begin in Genesis 47:27 and go to the beginning of Genesis 48.
27 Thus Israel [Jacob] settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly. 28 And Jacob lived in the land of Eg ...
