A True Beginning – Lunch Meet (Genesis 43:1-34)

“There’s a whole devotional here about this other guy – the steward over Joseph’s house. If Joseph can represent Jesus, the Back-From-The-Dead-Redeemer, then this guy can represent us. There he is, serving in Joseph’s house. Bringing others in to feast there. Speaking to strangers with kindness and grace. Representing his master and doing whatever he’s told. Of course, Joseph was the greatest steward of all time. Imagine being hired to be the steward of that guy’s house. How could you ever live up to the job? You can’t, but you get the job anyway.”
