Genesis 46-47
BIG IDEA
God goes with His people wherever they go.
TWO truths to know that God is with us:
1. As we see God’s presence in Egypt, we also see God’s presence in our lives.
2. As God promised to go with His people to Egypt, God has given us Jesus and the Holy Spirit to go with us.
THREE foreshadowing events that point toward Jesus:
1. As Joseph granted “a holding in the land of Egypt” to God’s people, so Jesus grants “a holding” in God’s kingdom to God’s people.
2. As Joseph provided food for God’s people (47:12), so Jesus provides the living bread for God’s people (John 6:35).
3. As Joseph saved God’s people from starvation, so Jesus saves God’s people from sin and gives them eternal life (John 3:16).
