DAILY?READINGS: Leviticus 25; Psalm 139; Mark 10:1-31
Israel loved Joseph…and made him a coat of many colours. Genesis 37:3
And he left his garment in her hand. Genesis 39:12
Pharaoh…arrayed him in vestures of fine linen. Genesis 41:42
Three garments are mentioned in Joseph’s life. The first is the coat of many colours. It speaks of a father’s deep love for his son. The second is the garment he left in the hands of Potiphar’s wife. It speaks of unjust suffering and humiliation. The third is the fine linen that Pharaoh arrayed him in, speaking of exaltation. What a lovely picture when we trace the path of our Saviour! From the place of love, to the place of humiliation, to the place of glory. —Sid Halsband
O Lord! When we the path retrace, which Thou on earth hast trod,
To men Thy wondrous love and grace, Thy faithfulness to God.
—J. Deck
