How did Joseph go from being sold as a slave by his brothers to being in charge of Egypt?
Grace!
Joseph’s brothers sold him as a slave to slave traders.
The slave traders sold him to Potiphar, the captain of the Palace Guard. Potiphar put him charge of his entire household.
Potiphar’s wife accused Joseph of rape.
Joseph was thrown into prison and chained in the dark dungeon...his feet were shackled and neck was placed in iron (Psalm 105:18).
He was abandoned by a friend and left in prison for 13 years. |

Joseph was verbally and physically attacked by his brothers. They treated him without value, selling him as a slave to slave traders. The slave traders sold him to Potiphar, the captain of the Egyptian Palace Guard. Potiphar’s wife took notice of Joseph, desiring a sexual encounter with him. But Joseph refused. Why? Why did Joseph refuse to have a sexual encounter with Potiphar’s wife? The reason for Joseph’s refusal is summed up in these words:
“How could I do this sinful evil against God? |
