this command before he died,
Say to Joseph, Forgive, | pray
you. the transgression :. OF
the servants of the God OF
YOUR father" The brothers
did not 60 to Joseph them
selves for they were afraid.
This is why they sent the
message. This message was
based upon the plea of their
father. They were still de-
pending upon their father, al
though he was dead, for their
peace and security with their
brother. What they did to
him they indeed meant for
evil, but God meant it for
good and they were reaping
the benefits of this goodness
of God. Joseph showed his
tenderness, his love and his
mercy. He was a man of
compassion; a man filled with
the Spirit of God.
THE DEATH OF JOSEPH:
No one can ever escape the
biological fact of death. Joseph
was no exception. The time
came when he had to keep his
appointment with death. Jo-
seph was ready to answer
when his name was called and
why not He had lived to be-
come ITO years old. His life
had been filled with faithful
service to the will of God. He
had been blessing to his
father and his brothers, as
well as the king and the
whole kingdom of Egypt.
Above all he had been the
instrument through which God
had continued to save and in
crease His covenant people.
The Mississippi enterprise., 1963-09-21

Now he was at peace with his
brothers and his God, he
could say without fear In
childlike simplicity. l die. But
the calmness in death did not
rest on these things alone, it
rested mainly on the assur-
ance Joseph had of God. Now
he knew in whom he had put
his trust. His earthly life was
kept by God. He was sure
that he could trust God In
death. Therefore he had no
need of fear. What about you
and death? Will you be able to
face this moment in the calm
spirit of Joseph? Will your life
have been a life of service and
blessings to others when you
are summoned?
But he kept moving on his
faith in God. Why could he
keep moving even in the land
of promise, it was because he
looked forward to the city
which has foundations, whose
builder and maker is God.
Abraham looked for that in
visible city which only God
could build. These examples
of faith are presented to us
today to inspire and challenge
our faith. From these heroes
of God we learn that God is
real; that God does speak and
will come to us when we need
Him most. Such faith will
see us through the vail of
sorrow and trouble in this
world and bring us into that
city of God which Abraham
knew existed.
