Faithful In Death
Tuesday January 16, 2024
Faithful in death. I am sure it is the verse that gets commented on the most, but it bears highlighting. When Joseph is about to die, he says to his brothers, “God will certain come to your aid and bring you up from this land to the land he swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So, Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath: ‘When God comes to your aid, you are to carry my bones up from here’” (Genesis 50:24-25). Joseph did not make them promise to take his body away from Egypt the moment he died, to bury him with his father. They actually placed Joseph in a coffin in Egypt (v.26). However, he did promise them that God would come to their aid and when that was to happen, he made them promise that they would take his body out of Egypt at that time. Joseph had faith that God would intervene in the future. Joseph was a man of faith; faithful even in death.
