Title: Sold Out! (1)
Series: Dreamer
Author: Collin Wimberly
Text: Genesis 37:1-35
CIT - Joseph is sold into slavery by His brothers.
Proposition - God is at work in the worst of the circumstances of our life to bring about good.
INTRODUCTION:
Marine quote:
To err is human, To forgive is divine. . .
Neither is Marine corps policy.
Joseph's life is characterized by forgiveness. Because of this, Joseph is one of the great types or pictures of Christ in the OT.
One quarter of Genesis is devoted to Joseph. He is without doubt one of the most important characters in the Bible. His life is one of the most exciting in Scripture.
Agnes E. Meyer - New York Times Book Review says this about the story of Joseph. "Purely as narrative and background there is a magnificent story here which exceeds in drama, opulence, and movement, anything that Hollywood has ever dreamed up.
There are two movements in this opening scene - They can each be described in one word.
I) RESENTMENT - vs. 1-10
Vs. 1 Jacob is in the land of Canaan. He is an old man at this time.
Before we can really understand Joseph we have to understand what kind of home he grew up in and what his brothers were like.
Jacob's name means deceiver - and that described his life well. He deceived his brother, stole his birthright and fled to live with his uncle Laban.
Joseph's mother was Rachel, Jacob's favorite wife. In fact, Jacob was tricked into marrying Leah, Rachel's sister, first. There was jealousy and bitterness in the home.
When Joseph was probably 5, Jacob ran away from his uncle Laban. Joe probably remembered His uncle's anger at Jacob's departure.
His brothers were difficult men. His sister Dinah was raped by the prince of Shechem, a Hivite. In response, her brothers Levi and Simon deceived the men of the city and then killed them all. Jacob - he did nothing.
His mother died while giving birth to his brother Benjamin.
As if that ...
