Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 13. I will then make several comments on verse 2. I will introduce you to a central character of the book of Genesis - Joseph. We will read Chapter 37 of Genesis: verses 1-11. Joseph is a lot like Jesus. He was loved very much by his father (as was Jesus by God), but he was despised by all of his brothers - with the exception of Benjamin. Joseph shares two dreams that he had with his brothers (the second dream also shared with his dad). His dad rebuked him for stating his dream in front of the family, but pondered what the dream meant. Meanwhile, his brothers despised him all the more after he had shared his dreams with them. I then go to the book of Isaiah Chapter 53: verses 3 & 4 and talk about the prophesy of Jesus not only coming to Earth, but that he would die on a cross. I talk about the fact that he came to Earth to take away all of the sins of the world, but that He also came to reconcile mankind to God. Ever since the fall of Adam and Eve, all mankind is not born into sin, and everyone must individually make the decision to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior if they are to be reconciled to God.
