RISING SHEAF - Genesis 41:33-45 - 11-20-22 Providence Crosslake Sermon
The great theme of Joseph's life and calling is signaled by the turning point in his fortunes recorded in chapter 41 of Genesis. Here his 'messianic ascension' from the place of humiliation comes to pass suddenly & dramatically. Joseph's testimony sets the tone for more unfolding revelation to come with the appointment of Moses and ultimately, the incarnation of Jesus. In our text, Joseph receives his big break as he is summoned to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams. Joseph, however, does not limit his counsel to expounding the meaning of God's Word to the king. He goes further to address the question: “what should be done?”, demonstrating his administrative skill and wisdom. Joseph advises the king on famine policy and his words are heeded. As a forerunner to Moses, his testimony must have been a great inspiration and encouragement for this servant to come generations later. Joseph's obedience demonstrated great faith. Most in his position would take every opportunity to seek the favor of Pharaoh by flattery. Recalling the fate of the baker, a fearful man would advise the king to take on the task of preparing for calamity himself, as suggesting someone else would imply a deficit in the king's abilities. In his confident posture and subsequent exaltation, Joseph appears as a forerunner of Christ who stood confidently before Pilate recognizing the governor would have no authority unless it had been given from above (Jn 19:10-11). Many other striking parallels emerge as we behold the exaltation of Joseph in the courts of Pharaoh. As was true of Moses, so with Joseph, this account points forward to the one with greater glory still (Heb 34:1-6).
