Abraham, Jacob, Joseph and Moses all had encounters in Egypt (some were good, some were bad). However, God used this special place to set His people on a very specific plan for the future. Even though Egypt was originally a place for shelter and food during hard times, God allowed the circumstances to take a turn for the worse so He could continue setting events in motion to reveal His perfect plan for mankind: Salvation through Jesus Christ!
TODAY Let’s learn about Joseph in Egypt
Joseph is sold by his brothers and ends up in EGYPT Where he ends up in jail for something he never did. But God gives him the ability to interpret dreams and he ends up working for PHAROAH And is second in charge of all of Egypt He forgives his brothers and his whole family moves to EGYPT
THIS IS HOW THE NATION OF ISRAEL GROWS (something the Lord had promised Abraham) From 70 people in Josephs family to millions
While Pharoah is alive, Joseph and his family have favour in the land but as time goes on they become slaves in Egypt
