BIG IDEA
God’s presence is with us in times of prosperity as well as times of adversity.
FIVE specific parallels between Joseph and Jesus:
1. As God was with Joseph, so God was with Jesus (Luke 2:40; John 1:32).
2. As Joseph was a blessing to one family, so Jesus was a blessing to all the families of the earth.
3. As Joseph was tempted by Potiphar’s wife to take a shortcut to power, so Jesus was tempted by Satan to take a shortcut to power (Matt 4:9).
4. As Joseph was silent when falsely accused, so Jesus was silent when falsely accused (Matt 26:63).
5. As the innocent Joseph was punished with prison, so the innocent Jesus was punished with death.
