Joseph Exalted in Affliction

In Genesis 41, Joseph is finally exalted out of his affliction. God sovereignly providentially works on Joseph’s behalf to raise him up out of the pit and seat him at the right hand of power in Egypt, thereby saving the nations from global calamity. This text reminds believers that we too will be exalted and reign with Christ. We walk through this story in three parts: 1) The impotence of Pharaoh, 2) the exaltation of Joseph, and 3) the realization of divine-promises.
