"He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant… He made him lord of his house… He sent Moses his servant… and they rebelled not against his word" (Psalm 105:17-28). "And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God… made him governor over… all his house… Then said the Lord to [Moses]… I will send thee… This Moses whom they refused… did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer… I see… the Son of man standing on the right hand of God" (Acts 7:9,10,33-35,56).
The Lord portrayed
the resurrection
And exaltation
of our Savior
When Joseph
suffered his rejection,
But God then
raised him up with favor.
Through Moses
also we discern
How he was by
his own expelled,
But God then
sent him to return,
And none against
his word rebelled.
When Stephen the
evangelist
Expounded on these
two God sent,
He showed how
sinners still resist
The Lord when they
will not repent.
How clearly,
Lord, these types display
Your
resurrection thus reflected,
Portraying, too,
the coming day
When You return,
now soon expected!
