Buried // From the Pit to the Palace: The story of Joseph and the Sovereignty of God / 02. Buried // 5 Divine Insights - Neville Jones // Genesis 40:1-23
02. Buried // 5 Divine Insights - Neville Jones // Genesis 40:1-23
In this chapter, Joseph is serving in prison, where he meets two of Pharaoh's officers, the cupbearer and the baker, both of whom are troubled by dreams which nobody can interpret. Joseph offers to interpret their dreams, and the cupbearer's dream predicts his restoration to his position, while the baker's dream predicts his death. The interpretation comes true, but the cupbearer forgets about Joseph.
Neville draws attention to the fact that Joseph, despite his difficult circumstances, is a servant who attends to the needs of others, and does not allow his own troubles to make him self-pitying. He also considers the significance of dreams, and how God may speak to people through them. Finally, Neville highlights the need to interpret life from a different perspective, which can ultimately lead to seeing one's troubles as a step towards God's greater purpose.
