j g bellettThe Moral Glories of Our Lord -  A devotion regarding the Moral Glory in the character of the Lord Jesus.  All of his life went up to God as a sacrifice of sweet savour. Every expression of Himself in every measure, however small, and in whatever relationship it was rendered, was incense to his father.  Whatever Adam lacked, the Lord fulfilled completely in his perfect life.  J G Bellett was a brother from the United Kingdeom who wrote his works in the 1800's. 
Sunday School Lesson 126 Joseph Interprets Dreams Print E-mail

Lesson: 126 Lesson Name: The Dream Interpreter
Theme: Two Ways

Reading: Genesis 40:1-23

Memory Verse: Daniel 2:28
Memory Verse Text: There is a God that revealeth secrets.

Point 1: Two others were imprisoned justly with Joseph because of what they had done; they deserved it.  Joseph, like the Lord Jesus, "was numbered with the transgressors" (Isaiah 53:12).
Point 2: In spite of his own troubles, Joseph noticed the other prisoners' sad faces (Gen. 40:7).  With God's help, he was able to reveal the meaning of their dreams.
Point 3: One prisoner was to be freed and the other was to be hung, similar to the thieves on the crosses; one was saved and one was forever lost.  Which one was freed? The prisoner with the cup, which was a reminder of shed blood.  Which one died?  The prisoner with the baked goods, which was a reminder of man's best efforts.
Point 4: Joseph asked only to be remembered, but he was forgotten.

Notes: This was the first hanging in the Bible, Judas was the last!
