03. Buried // 4 Betrayal to Blessing - Tobi Ford-Western // Genesis 39:1-23

After being sold in Egypt as a slave, Joseph served Potiphar, an Egyptian officer. However, God was with Joseph, and he became successful. Joseph was put in charge of Potiphar's house and all that he had. One day, Potiphar's wife tried to seduce Joseph, but he refused and fled. Potiphar's wife falsely accused Joseph of trying to assault her, and Joseph was put in prison. However, God was still with Joseph, and he was put in charge of the prison.

Through Joseph's life, we see the interplay between darkness and light, death and resurrection, which is a key theme in all of God's masterpieces. Tobi looks at how Joseph's life is related to Jesus' life and how our lives as Christians are also related to Jesus' life. He ends by encouraging us to trust in God's artistry in our lives, even in seasons of death and resurrection, and reminds us that even after we die, God can still use our legacy to inspire and encourage others.
