When the family of Jacob enters the land of Egypt, Pharaoh blesses them by granting them the land of Goshen, Jacob blesses Pharaoh, and through Joseph's dominion the Egyptians are saved from the famine and the Israelites are fruitful and multiply. By faith, Jacob perceived that Joseph's saving rule in Egypt foreshadowed the saving rule of the promised seed in the promised land, and we know today that what Jacob anticipated has been fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Through Jesus' saving rule, the nations are blessed, God's people are multiplied, and the curse is undone.

Jesus is the true and better Joseph, the promised seed who was rejected by his brothers, condemned in his innocence, exalted to His Father’s right hand, and given dominion over all the earth. The nations are blessed and God's people are multiplied as the church advances the Gospel to the lost. And though we are still "in Egypt", one day Christ will deliver us to the true promised land!

No more let sins or sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground!
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found.

In Genesis 45-46, we read the story of how the exalted seed calls God's covenant people to come into his Kingdom so that they might live with him. Though they were weak and fearful, Joseph provided for their needs, God assured them of His presence, and Israel made it to Egypt.

This story points us to the truth that we are also called into a kingdom - the kingdom of the true beloved son, Jesus Christ. He has died for our sins and been exalted to God’s right hand, and now He welcomes us into His eternal Kingdom to live forever with Him. This is our hope; this is where we’re going in our journey of faith. And because of God’s provision for us, presence with us, and promises to us, we can be assured that we will finally enter Christ’s Kingdom.

Today, God provides us with forgiveness and spiritual nourishment. God is with us through the presence of the Holy Spirit. And God has demonstrated His faithfulness to His promises in Jesus Christ. Therefore, don't be anxious and afraid, but instead, walk by faith and be assured that we too will finally enter the Kingdom of Christ - the beloved Son, the exalted seed, our Savior-King.

The sons of Jacob were God’s covenant people, and Joseph was the royal seed who was rejected by his brothers, who was condemned in his innocence, and who was exalted to Pharaoh’s right hand as a Savior-King to the nations. But what we learn in Genesis 42-45 is that before God’s covenant people could enter the Kingdom of the exalted seed, they had to be tested. Their testing was a necessary prerequisite to their final salvation.

We know that Jesus is the true and better Joseph. He is the royal seed who was rejected, the righteous seed who was condemned, and the exalted seed who now provides salvation to all nations. We are saved by faith in Him alone. But like Abraham, like Jacob, like Joseph’s brothers, and like the Israelites, we must know and expect that we too will be tested.

Our hope is that though the testing of our faith is necessary, our entrance into Christ’s Kingdom is guaranteed. It is guaranteed because of God’s sovereign purpose to graciously give us eternal life. It is guaranteed because Jesus suffered for our sins and has been exalted. And it is guaranteed because the Holy Spirit will sustain and strengthen our faltering faith until the very end.

When you are struggling to perceive the warm heart of God in times of testing, look to Christ. Fix your eyes on the Son who loved you when you were guilty and gave Himself for you in death so that you might live with your Father in heaven. Let his sacrifice for you strengthen your faith in God’s love for you, so that you might persevere through every test.

In Proverbs 9, we hear two competing voices: the voice of wisdom, and the voice of folly. Both invite the simple to enter their house for a meal, but while wisdom's feast brings life, folly's forbidden bread brings death. Obviously, all people should reject folly's invitation and choose wisdom. But in addition to these two voices, we see two responses: the response of the scoffer, and the response of the wise. While the wise receive the reproofs and instruction of wisdom, the scoffer rejects them and hates the one who gives them.

What's the difference? Why do some receive wisdom while others scoff at it? How can we be people who choose wisdom? Only through cultivating the fear of the Lord. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is insight." Through the fear of the Lord, we are able to overcome folly and scoffing and turn to wisdom. This fear of the Lord is a heart reality that is only possible through the work of the Spirit and the Word of Jesus Christ. He alone was perfectly wise, he died the death that fools deserve, and now He gives the Spirit of wisdom to all who place their faith in Him. Let us run to wisdom this week by running to Christ!

We want to have a fellowship with them that exemplifies Paul's relationship with the Philippians in Philippians 1:3-6:
"I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."

We've been doing this sale going on 4 years. Each year, the sale has gotten BIGGER! You can expect a large variety of items!

📢But is it expensive?
Since we usually have a large amount of items, we make it cheap so it can go!

Here’s what’s happening this week at Redeemer!

We’ve seen the last few weeks how Jesus is like Joseph, the rejected brother, the righteous seed, the suffering servant. Now, in Genesis 40-41, we see that Jesus, like Joseph, is the true exalted seed. Just as Joseph languished in the pit of prison for two years, and then in the third year he was raised, so also Jesus was buried in the grave for two days, and then on the third day he was raised. Just as Joseph was clothed in royal garb and exalted to Pharaoh’s right hand, so also Jesus has been clothed in glory and exalted to the Father’s right hand. Just as Joseph was given all authority over Egypt, so also Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth. And just as Joseph was fruitful in his exaltation, so also Jesus - for two thousand years, by the Holy Spirit and through the Word of the Gospel - has multiplied an abundance of offspring in the family of God - including us today.

Because the royal seed has been exalted, God will also exalt us with Him. What this means is that one day, Church, we will look back on our sufferings and say with Joseph, “God has made me forget.” It means that one day, we will see the whole of His mysterious work in our lives and we will say, “God has made me fruitful.” One day, He will exalt us with Jesus, and we will give Him all the glory.
