Jesus was what Eve desired; and did not hold on to what Eve took. What Jesus had a right to, Eve did not, and yet she grasped after what Jesus was willing to let go. So He became what she and Adam were, to show us what to be.If this is convoluted, let’s juxtapose these […]

There was no food in Egypt due to a 7 year famine. Joseph through divine providence had stored up food for 7 years. Food meant life. The Egyptians, and other nations, came to Joseph to buy food.

Often, I have been “bothered” or maybe a better word is “confused”, at how often the Bible is so unnecessarily repetitive within the same scene. I think I am discovering why. Check this out: Genesis 31:1-9 A – 1) Now Jacob heard what Laban’s sons were saying: “Jacob has taken all that was our father’s […]
