Dear Heritage Family and Friends,

There are 130+ parallels between the life of Joseph and the life of Jesus.  God used the life of Joseph to illustrate His plan to place the Israelites in the Promised Land at the right time for the Messiah’s birth. (Galatians 4:4)

Joseph is a perfect portrait of Jesus Christ, and we will unveil that portrait in our next sermon in the series, “Follow the Lamb.”

Follow the Lamb

In John 5:39, Jesus challenged the Jewish Religious leaders by saying: “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me!”

In 2 Timothy 3:15, Paul told Timothy that the purpose of studying the scriptures was: “To make us wise unto salvation!”

The scriptures bear witness to the coming of the Messiah; the Savior sent from God!

JOSEPH: The Messianic Patriarch

Joseph in his father’s house –

Joseph in Potiphar’s house –

Joseph as ruler over the house of Egypt –

The opening verses of Exodus tell us that Jacob and his family settled in the “best of the land” of Egypt and they enjoyed “peace and plenty” for 30 years!

The two reasons why God allowed the Hebrew people to suffer such cruel treatment for 400 years!
