Genesis 42-43
I love how Jacob addresses his sons in verse 1! "Why do you just keep looking at each other?" They're standing around idol, not accomplishing anything and so he sends them off to Egypt to "buy some food for us, so that we may live and not die"
Again, we see Jacob's favoritism. He didn't send Benjamin with his brothers because he was afraid harm might come to him. (vs 4)
Vs 6, Joseph's dream comes true! His brothers bowed down with their faces to the ground.
Reuben said in vs 22, "now we must give an accounting for his blood." Reuben seems to me like a good man. He said in vs. 37 that if Benjamin didn't return that Jacob could kill both of his sons. He said entrust him to my care, and I will bring him back.
Joseph loved his brother Benjamin and wept uncontrollably. How many years had passed since they saw each other last? I wonder too how long Simeon had to stay in jail while the rest of the family finished off the grain they'd brought home from Egypt! I'm looking forward to tomorrow when I can read the rest of the story!
Matthew 21-
Jesus tells his disciples exactly where to go for a donkey, and, the donkey was there! We see Jesus' power, with a word and it happened!
This passage reminds me of Pastor Mike's message on hosanna from Palm Sunday last year!
In verse 21, Jesus says "if you have faith and do not doubt", Carlynn's WBS message was so great this morning, teaching on how we as Christians should not doubt God! It's a sin, a very bad sin!
Vs 32 "even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe". We're to respond to God with repentance and faith! The Pharisees did not believe or respond with repentance to what Jesus instructed!
