The story of Joseph is one that makes sense in reverse. From dark pits and prisons, he rises up from prisoner to prince as he becomes Pharaoh's second in command. He rescues his family and provides food for the surrounding nations experiencing famine. The story of Joseph is the story of God’s faithfulness in turning things around against the odds, best summarised by Genesis 50.20: ‘what you intended for evil, God intended for good’.
Looking around
Joseph, a son of Jacob, the last of Israel’s ancient patriarchs, is at the centre of a 4,000-year-old family drama. Little seems to have changed since then. It’s a story of favouritism, jealousy, hatred, temptation, suffering and reconciliation. But the Joseph story is bigger than that. The central character, it turns out, is not Joseph but God, who directs, protects and intervenes according to his providential plan.
