At this point in Joseph’s story, he has become the Prime Minister in Egpyt and is in charge of food during a severe famine. Much to his surprise his brothers, who sold him into slavery, come to get food from him in Egypt. After a series of tests, we see the beauty of reconciliation between Joseph and his brothers, ultimately pointing us to our need to be reconciled to Jesus.

Through all of the suffering and hardship that Joseph has been through, God has been with him. Now, we see him rise from the pit he’s been in to be the prime minister of all of Egypt. Ultimately, Joseph points to Jesus who suffered and died, and went to the pit, but was raised and is seated at the right hand of God.

In the midst of hardship and being wronged, Joseph’s integrity remains. But it’s not because Joseph is righteous in and of himself, but because God is with him. As Joseph transitions from being a servant and into prison, we continually see God’s gracious presence with him.

Often, texts in the Bible are more risque than we feel comfortable with. This is one of those texts. The author gives us a look into a rather shocking episode filled with sin, death, judgment, incest, and gender oppression. But God shows his grace in that, in the midst of this messy situation, this continues the lineage that would one day lead to the coming of his Son.
