Bow Down

Memorize: Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Luke 24:5,6


Joseph                     Jesus
Genesis 41:55                                    John 2:5


Similarities and differences?

Egypt and Pharaoh submitted to Joseph, to overcome starvation.  By bowing to Joseph in reality they were bowing to God.  God has placed leaders in authority those over us for our benefit. Joseph is a shadow of the One who all, oneway must bow down to.

Mary submitted to Jesus’ way of doing things. She recognized that Jesus was more than her human son—he was the Son of God. When we bring our problems to Christ, we may think we know how he should take care of them. But he may have a completely different plan. Like Mary, we should submit and allow him to deal with the problem as he sees best.
