Genesis 46:1-47:12
Dear RTB’ers,
Carol and I have our Maryland daughter, Nancy here with us this week, together with her two children, Matthew age 6 and Isabelle age 3, so I may have some difficulty getting these early-morning post out. But Holy Week might be a good time for me to fall short – and the rest of you pick it up a bit, commenting/posting on what you are reading.
On March 29 we do not have any new readings – the STS schedule simply has us reviewing Genesis 37-50, essentially Joseph’s life. The second question for that day asks us to draw parallels for Joseph as a “type” of Jesus. So I will jump in ahead a bit with what struck me today as I read about Joseph reuniting with his father Jacob. Jesus had come from His Father and upon his death, Resurrection and Ascension He returned to His Father. As I read about Jacob embracing his son, Joseph after those many years separated, I was thinking about what a happy homecoming that must have been for Jesus and His Father! Your thoughts?
Blessings!
