I.      SURPRISE!!    I AM JOSEPH                                                                                 Genesis 45:1-8
        A. Don’t Be Grieved                                                                                            v. 3

        B. God Sent Me                                                                                                   v. 5

        C. To Preserve Life                                                                                              v. 5

        D. God Meant It For Good                                                                                  v. 7-8
Genesis 50:18-20 (NKJV) Then his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.” Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?  But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

II.     GO TO MY FATHER                                                                                             v. 8-9
        A. God Made Me Lord of all Egypt                                                                     v. 8

III.    RECONCILIATION                                                                                                v. 14-15

IV.   LESSONS OF GREATNESS
         A. GOD Placed Us Here    (location)

Philippians 4:11 (NKJV) Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

          B. GOD Still Working         (situation)
Philippians 1:24-25 (NKJV) ²⁴Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you. ²⁵And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith

       C. Accept Both—They Are From GOD    (by faith)

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

I       BEWARE OF DOGS                                                                                                          Philippines 3:2

Soul’s Salvation Acts 9:1-31
Gospel to Jews first Acts 8
Then to Samaritans
Then through Peter to Gentiles Acts 10
Opposition to Paul’s ministry Acts 15

II BEWARE OF EVIL WORKS v. 2

Taught saved by faith plus works

Jesus Only

Ephesians 2:8-10 (NKJV) ⁸For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, ⁹not of works, lest anyone should boast. ¹⁰For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Titus 3:2-7 (NKJV) ²to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. ³For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. ⁴But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, ⁵not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, ⁶whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, ⁷that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

III MUTILATION v. 2

Paul clarifies circumcision v. 3

Symbol of a need for a clean heart
We have clean heart Jesus cleansed.

Romans 2:25-29 (NKJV)²⁵For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. ²⁶Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision? ²⁷And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your ^[^a^]written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law? ²⁸For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; ²⁹but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose ^[^b^]praise is not from men but from God.

Rejoice in Jesus not flesh

ACTION PLAN TO BE CHRISTLIKE 1-14-18

I. HUMILITY

A. Jesus was
Philippians 2:5-8 (NKJV) 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

John 13:12-17 (NKJV) 12 So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, â€œDo you know what I have done to you? 13 You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one anotherâ€™s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

B. We humble to God

Romans 6:13 (NKJV) And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

II. ONENESS WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS John 17

A. Jesus prayer to the Father

B. They all may be one John 17:20-24
