them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me
to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one
like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt
about the paps with a golden girdle.
14
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as
white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they
burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out
of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun
shineth in his strength.
17
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.

and the last:

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I
am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

seat of Christ.

JOSEPH’S FAITH IS TESTED
Introduction:
A. Joseph was the favored son of Jacob.
B. God sent Joseph dreams showing him that he would be the leader over men.
C. The envy of Joseph's brothers caused him to be in slavery in Egypt.
D. Joseph was sold to Pharaoh's Captain of the Guard, Potiphar.
I. Test of Prosperity
Genesis 39:1-6
1
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and
Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought
him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither.
2
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a
prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3
And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and
that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4
And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served
him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put
into his hand.
5
And it came to pass from the time that he had made
him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed
the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was
upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
6
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and
he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a
goodly person, and well favored.
A. Joseph advanced from common slave to chief operating officer of
Potiphar's house.
B. Potiphar's affairs prospered in every way.
C. Joseph gave God the credit.
II. Test of Purity
Genesis
39: 7-12
7
And it came to pass after these things, that his
master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8
But he refused, and said unto his master's wife,
Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath
committed all that he hath to my hand;
9
There is none greater in this house than I;
neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his
wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10
And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by
day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11
And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph
went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the
house there within.
12
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie
with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
A. Joseph was handsome.
B. Mrs. Potiphar lusted after him:
1. The temptation was a surprise.
2. The temptation was day after day.
3. The temptation was a secret.
C. Joseph did not fall for the temptation:
1. He had conviction before temptation.
2. He knew love involved loyalty to Potiphar and God.
iii. Test of Persecution
Genesis
39:13-23
13
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left
his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
14
That she called unto the men of her house, and
spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock
us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
15
And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted
up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got
him out.
16
And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord
came home.
17
And she spake unto him according to these words,
saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me
to mock me:
18
And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and
cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
19
And it came to pass, when his master heard the
words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did
thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
20
And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the
prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in
the prison.
21
But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him
mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22
And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's
hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did
there, he was the doer of it.
23
The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing
that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he
did, the LORD made it to prosper.
A. Just as things were going better than they had in ten years, the
Hebrew Prince was put into prison.
(pit, slavery, prison)
B . God's favor caused Joseph to be put in charge of the prison under the
keeper of the prison, just has he had been second in charge for Potiphar.

B. Trust God regardless of present circumstances; there are better things
John
14:1-6
1
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God,
believe also in me.
2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were
not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will
come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also.
4
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither
thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and
the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
