Text: Genesis 40
Introduce the story.
Interpretations belong to God
- Gideon used misinterpretation to his advantage with only 300 men against
- Daniel understands to go to the author for understanding
- Psalms 119-18 – open thou mine eyes…
- Luke 24:32, 45 – the Lord has to give you an understanding of His words
Three days and three nights to life and death
- The man who saw the fruitful vine from his prison cell was restored.
- The man who saw the birds scavaging bread from his basket was destroyed.
- You can’t possibly miss the resurrection dreams.
- Jesus Christ will die on the cross and after three days and three nights, everything about life and death will be determined.
- Acts 17:30-31
- To those who see Christ as the fruitful vine, to them, life is given.
- To those who see Christ as bread eaten by birds, to them, death is prescribed.
Joseph is forgotten
- Joseph is left in prison for two more years. He was in his late 20s when he made the interpretation for the butler and baker.
- The man with understanding is forgotten.
- This event will not bear fruit in Joseph’s life for another couple of years.
