Being a good servant - In a difficult circumstances - Being Godly means serving well Flee immorality - Hastening the departure from sin - Being Godly means fleeing sin
Since Rueben, Simeon and Levi were off the firstborn inheritance list, next is Judah. Joseph would actually receive the first born double inheritance (Gen 48:22), Judah would receive the seed promise

5. Joseph the Servant
In an unfair situation The prosperity of his master Pursued the dignity of the master’s house
Joseph’s sale into slavery was completely unfair.
It would later be illegal under the law of Moses.
But he made the best of it by working hard for the prosperity of the master

Joh 12:26 "If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
Ga 5:13 ¶ For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

7. Joseph the Servant
Christians as servants - In spiritual matters Luke 22:26, John 12:26, Galatians 5:13 - In the world Colossians 3:22-23, 1 Peter 2:18 Joseph is an example of Christian conduct
Col 3:22 Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,
1Pe 2:18 Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.

8. Flee Immorality
Contrasting with Judah, Joseph fled immorality He did not: Linger Try to reason it out Work on his self-control
2Ti 2:22 ¶ Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

9. Flee Immorality
Contrasting with Judah, Joseph fled immorality The commandment for Christians today 1 Corinthians 6: Timothy 2:22 FLEE sexual immorality as a danger
2Ti 2:22 ¶ Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
1Co 6:18 Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

10. Getting To Know Joseph
Some Rabbis (inaccurately) looked for two Christs: One was Ben-David The Victorious Conqueror One was Ben-Joseph The Suffering Servant
1Ti 5:8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever
Pr 24:27 ¶ Prepare your work outside And make it ready for yourself in the field; Afterwards, then, build your house.

11. Getting To Know Joseph
Joseph is a perfect fore-shadow of Christ Removed from his father by the sins of others Set to be a faithful servant Falsely suffering a punishment for others Forgiving sins
