Genesis 43

There's two pictures of Jesus in our reading today. They are in the life of Joseph and the life of Judah. 

Genesis 44

Let's talk about what Judah does with Joseph in our reading today. 

Genesis 45

Mystery solved! The question in Genesis 41 has a potential answer here in Genesis 45. 

Genesis 46

Jacob goes through a big move in this chapter, and the Lord reassures him in it. If you know the "why" you can handle any "what." 

Genesis 47

today, we read how the Israelites became so prosperous and numerous in Egypt. It's because they took the low and detestable jobs there. 

Genesis 48

Isn't it interesting how Jacob swaps his hands so that his right hand, the hand of blessing is on the second born. 

Genesis 49

There's two prophecies that are interesting to us in the blessings that Jacob pronounces over his children. 

Genesis 50

There's a through-line in Joseph's life that we see spelled out in our reading today. It's that even though he's very powerful, Joseph knows he's not God. 

Exodus 1

We are starting Exodus today and have this interesting story of the midwives who were deceptive to the governing authorities in order to preserve innocent life. 

Exodus 2

It's fascinating how baby Moses was put in a boat and floated down the river to be seen by the Egyptian princess. Deliverers in boats is a recurring motif in the Bible.
