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 127 Joseph is Promoted in Egypt Print E-mail

Lesson: 127 Lesson Name: Joseph is Praised
Theme: Christ the Lord / Sinner's Need and Helplessness

Reading: Genesis 41

Memory Verse: John 6:37
Memory Verse Text: Him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out.

Point 1: When God's time came, He invaded Pharaoh's mind with a troubling dream and also stirred the butler's thoughts.  God helped Joseph interpret Pharaoh's dream and saw to it that Pharaoh was so impressed that he would choose Joseph, a prisoner, to act as ruler of the land (Gen. 41:38-44).  Joseph was 30 years old at this time after several long years in prison.
Point 2: Note the "bow the knee" of Gen. 41:43 and remind the class of Joseph's dreams (Gen. 37).  Also note the great and long famine over all of the nearby lands; God was setting the stage for the rest of His purposes.
Point 3: Joseph acted wisely in that he took a Gentile bride and organized storehouses of grain in Egypt requiring everyone to come to him for food (Gen. 41:57).
Point 4: Apply Gen. 41:55, "Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do" to the saved and unsaved in the class.  Application: You need to come to the Saviour, and you can, but remember that you must "Bow the knee" to Him as well.
