One of the most frequent ways God is identified in the Bible is as the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. They are three of the main patriarchs of the Jewish faith. Joseph is Jacob’s son, and he is — as much as anyone — responsible for the formation of the nation of Israel.
The actions of Joseph set the stage for Moses to rise and lead the massive and powerful nation of Israel into its destiny in the promised land, so it’s not a stretch to consider Joseph one of the patriarchs. This week, we're going to talk about him as we continue our series called Patriarchs, Prophets and Priests.
