WELCOME to Talk 9— the last talk of our series on Genesis: Blessing
and Curse. The key message of this talk is God turns curse into blessing.
Genesis started by proclaiming an earthshaking truth:
That every human is God’s living, breathing, walking image.
Yet ironically, every story that followed exposes how each character was shockingly unfaithful. Sinful. Broken. From Adam to Cain to Noah to Abraham to Jacob. Perhaps they were images of God, yes, but damaged.
Talk 9 continues the story of Joseph, who is faithful to God and thus he is well rewarded. The Genesis story continues to this day. How? We are in it. We are part of Genesis. We may be damaged but God holds on to us. He turns curse into blessing.
