All Things Work Together for Good
(Lesson 25)

​
Introduction:

         1. The principle revealed in Romans 8:28 is illustrated many times in the Bible.
         2. For example, Genesis shows how all things worked together for good in Joseph's life.
         3. In this lesson we are examining the information presented in ch.47.
             a. Joseph introduced his family to Pharaoh.
             b. Joseph continued his work of selling grain.
             c. Jacob's family prospered in Egypt.
             d. Jacob revealed his burial plans to Joseph.

                     and their animals to Goshen
                 b. (45:17-20) after Pharaoh learned about Joseph's brothers, he told Joseph to move his family to
                     Egypt, and they could have access to the best that Egypt had to offer

             2. After Joseph's family moved to Goshen, Joseph related that information to Pharaoh.
         B. (vs.2-4) Joseph introduced 5 of his brothers to Pharaoh.
             1. Earlier (46:33-34), Joseph had instructed his brothers to tell Pharaoh that their trade was tending

             2. When Joseph introduced his brothers to Pharaoh, they told him they were shepherds.
             3. They had moved to Goshen so their animals could survive, and they wanted Pharaoh’s permission
                 to stay there.
         C. (vs.5-6) Pharaoh allowed Joseph's family to live in Goshen.
         D. (vs.7-10) Joseph introduced Jacob to Pharaoh.
             1. At the time, Jacob was 130 years old.
             2. He had lived a long time, but he had not lived as long as his fathers.
