Genesis 50:1-Exodus 2:10
After all the mourning over Jacob's death the brothers were worried about there safety. Joseph being a true man of God assured all his brothers that they were fine for he truly forgave and knew it was all God's will. He also states that he is not God so not one to punish them. After Joseph's death a new pharoah came and treated the Israelites poorly he also ordered two midwives to kill all the boys, the did not follow these evil directions and were rewarded by God because of it. It is equivalent to not following a direct order from the Prime Minister because of your loyalty and devotion to the Lord. This passage also shows how Moses came to be and how God intervened to save his life.
Matthew 16:13-17:9
Jesus renames Simon Peter which means "rock", he declares he will build his church on this rock. Jesus tells the disciples to not tell anyone that he is the Messiah, he also tells them what he is going to do and how he is going to die and then be ressurected. He is very angry with Peter for he tries to talk him out of it, he says Peter is looking at it merely from a human point of viewand not from God's view which is omniscient. He then tells all the disciples to give up their lives for him. What do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul." This is so profound and accurate, I apologize Lord for trying to gain things of this world please forgive me for my sins. The meeting on the mountain with Jesus, Peter and his two brothers is awesome in its power and meaning.
Proverbs 5:1-6
