Bible Story: Joseph

Bible Reading: Genesis 37-46

Bible Point: Jesus is the Better Joseph

Questions to ask:

-How does this scripture point us to the gospel? 

-How did Joseph obey God? 

-How is Jesus better than Joseph?

Parents, what a wonderful reminder of God’s provision. Though Joseph was hated by his brothers, wrongfully accused by his master, and forgotten by his friends, he remained faithful to God. God used Joseph to provide for the physical needs of the Egyptians, his brothers, and their families. Yet, for all of his wisdom and faithfulness, Joseph could not provide a cure for the curse of sin on mankind. He was still a sinner and therefore was not worthy to atone for sin. Joseph needed a savior just like we do and praise God for the blessing of Jesus. Jesus is the better Joseph.
