Whosoever

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 41:57                                                   Zech 8:23, Rev 22:2

Similarities and differences?

Notice all nations come to Joseph and  Jesus.  God's plan has always 

been to have all his child around His dinner table.  Last Sunday, I talked about 

Meritocracy an Idea I stole from David Brooks in a New York Times op-ed page.  What is 

meritocracy?  Rich and successful people are worth more than poorer and less 

successful people.  Jewish people are worth more than the wretched Samaritans.  

Christians are worth more than Muslims.  Man is constantly trying to divide between the  

insiders and the outsiders.  

The life of  Joseph & Jesus taught us. .That whosoever believeth in him should not 

perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever 

believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world 

through him might be saved. John 3:15-17

Lord, help us to see that our well-being is inextricably bound to the well-being of our 

neighbor. Our sorrows are shared. Our longings are shared. Our fears are shared. Enable 

us also to share compassion, patience, and courage today. Amen. (CommonPrayer.net)
