Living With Potiphar’s Wife
“Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt” IN THE WORLD NOT OF THE WORLD “Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt” He found himself in the home of an idolater and never became one himself We have been “rescued from this present evil age” We have work to do in this world (John 17:15)
“Now his master saw that the Lord was with him...” IN THE WORLD NOT OF THE WORLD “Now his master saw that the Lord was with him...” In slavery Joseph showed the Lord in his master’s house In prison Joseph showed the Lord to the prisoners We must work to change the world around us!!
TEMPTATION IS PERVASIVE AND PERSISTENT Joseph immediately rejects any notion of committing this sin Potiphar’s wife would have been right at home in modern day America This is a defining moment in Joseph’s life
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED Sin Lies!!! Remember Satan is cunning Sometimes the “cloak” does not tell the whole story
DOING RIGHT CAN BRING SUFFERING Joseph was continually obedient and still imprisoned Do we feel as if we are treated unjustly despite serving faithfully?? The righteous will prosper!!
