Joseph's Exaltation
Acts 7:9-15
And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,…


He exchanges a captive's chain for ornaments of gold; the prison, garb for courtly vesture; the narrow walls of a jail for crowded streets, through which, amid acclaims that rend the skies, he is borne in a royal chariot. He was Potiphar's slave; he has become Potiphar's lord. He begged favours of a butler; the proudest princes of Egypt now live in his smiles, and tremble at his frown.

(T. Guthrie, D. D.)
