Genesis 45:4-15❤ "4 So Joseph❤ said to his brothers❤ , " Come near to me, please." And they came near. And he said, " I am your brother😊❤ , Joseph😊❤, whom you sold to Egypt. 5 And now do not be distress or angry with yourselves(10) because you sold me here, for God( God😊100%❤ our Father who created heavens and earth from heaven) sent me before you(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤&😊❤'s) for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive😊❤ for you many❤ survivors(😊❤'s) 8 So it was not you who sent me here, but God(God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven). He( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) has made me a father to Pharoah, and lord of all his house and rulers over all the land of Egypt."( ESV Study Bible) Pause in here in Christ😊❤ in Genesis 45:8 b on "...of all his house..."(from Genesis 45:8b or middle of the verse) remind me on Moses😊❤ in Hebrews 3:5-6 "5 Now Moses😊❤ was faithful😊❤in all God's housw as😊❤ a servant😊❤( " a servant😊❤"), to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6but Christ( Jesus(😊1st❤) is faithful😊❤ over😊❤ God's house😊❤as a son( Jesus😊1st❤). And we ( 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤'s ) are his house😊❤ if indeed we( 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ 😊❤😊❤ 😊❤'s) hold😊❤ fast 😊❤ ( "hold fast"😊❤) our confident( confident in Jesus( John 1:1-2😊❤ and fix our eyes on Jesus😊1st❤ )) and our(😊❤'s) boasting 😊❤ in our hope😊❤."( Hebrews 3:5-6 ESV Study Bible) Again " Now Moses😊❤ is faithful😊❤ in all God(😊100%❤'s) house😊❤ as a servant( " ae a servant😊❤" of God) to testify😊❤ to the things❤ that were to be spoken later, "( Hebrews 3:5 ESV Study Bible😊❤) Now resume back to Genesis 45:9-15 "9 Hurry and go up to my father( Jacob or Isarel😊❤) and say to him😊❤, ' Thus says your son Joseph😊❤, God( God 😊100%❤ our Father in heaven or The One who created heavens and earth( from Genesis 1:1😊❤)) has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; do not worry( " do not worry"😊❤ reminds me Matthew 6:25-34😊 ❤ ( Do not worry ) hope to share in Christ later and Matthew 6:33😊❤) Do you also see my God is at work in Christ too? ) "10 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you 😊❤ and your children( 😊❤ 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ 😊❤😊❤ ) and your children's( 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤'s) children, and your flocks😊❤, your herds😊❤, and all that you have😊❤. 11 There I will provide( " will provide😊❤") for you😊❤, for there are yet five years of famine to come, so that you( Israel😊❤) and your household😊❤, and all that you have, do not come to poverty.' 12 And now your eyes😊❤ see😊❤, and the eyes(😊❤😊❤) of my brother😊❤ Benjamin😊❤ see😊❤, that is my mouth😊❤ that speaks 😊❤ to you( ❤). 13 You( 😊❤) must tell my father( Jacob or Israel😊❤) of all my honor in Egypt, and of all that you( 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ 😊❤😊❤ 😊❤) have seen. Hurry and bring my father( Jacob 😊❤ or Israel😊❤) down here❤." 14 Then he(Joseph😊❤) fell upon his brother Benjamin😊❤'s neck and wept , and Benjamin😊❤ wept upon his neck. 15 And he kissed all his brothers (😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ 😊❤😊❤ 😊❤) and wept( happy tears in Christ) upon them.

God answered my one years earlier prayer in Christ. 😊❤ Mark 2:1-12(Jesus😊1st❤ heals😊❤ a paralytic❤) "2 And when he( Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ) returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 2 And many were gathered together, so that there no more room, not even at the door. And he( Jesus😊1st❤) was preaching😊❤ the word😊❤ to them(😊❤'s). 3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men( 4 of the paralytic's friends ) 4 And when they had made an openning, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. "( ESV Study Bible) Pause here in Christ. Imagine you were the paralytic man( from Mark 2:3a); and you have four good friends who love you and care for you since Jesus was preaching😊❤ the word to them( people❤ ) and no more room so you 😊❤ so your four( 4) friends( 4 men😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) carried you😊❤ and your bed too up a flat roof at Jesus'😊1st❤ time in Christ to bring you to Jesus😊1st❤ despite the crowd before them and knowing they may need pay the liability of the roof of the home where Jesus(😊1st❤) was preaching and your four friends hope you can be completely heal by Jesus😊1st❤ where Jesus 😊1st❤( "...he") was at (a) home (from Mark 2:1b) What do you think Jesus(😊1st❤) see? Now back to Mark 2:5-12 " 5 And when Jesus (😊1st❤ ) saw their( these four friends' faith😊❤ of the Paralytic or the Bible in Mark 😊❤ called them "... four men" ( from Mark 2:3b) and Mark 2:5 a " And when Jesus saw their( 4) faith😊❤..."( Mark 2:5a ESV Study Bible) Mark 2:5 the Bible said " 5 And Jesus😊1st❤ saw their faith,... " ( " faith" means trust in Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior and the healer of the world in Christ); he( Jesus😊1st❤) said the paralytic, " Son, your sins is forgiven."( Mark 2:5 ESV Study Bible) Again Mark 2:5 " 5 And when Jesus (😊1st❤ ) saw theirfaith,... " ( " faith" trust in Jesus😊1st❤ means faith to me in Christ), he( Jesus😊1st❤) said the paralytic, " Son, your sins is forgiven."( Mark 2:5 ESV Study Bible) 6 Now some( " some " not all but " some") of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7 " Why does this man( Jesus😊1st ❤ is a man or "this man" from God) speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone? "( so far covered Mark 2:1-7 ESV Study Bible alove in Christ😊❤) Imagine from Jesus' perspective that he was preaching God's word😊❤ to them(❤'s) and four men with faith in Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ carry a paralytic man knew there no room for them enter where he was and they broke someone's home's roof and "... they removed the roof above him( You, Jesus😊1st❤) and when they make an openning of the roof, they let down the bed( with the paralytic man of course) on the paralytic lay."( from Mark 2:4b) and Jesus😊1st❤ saw their faith😊❤( first😊❤) and he( Jesus😊1st❤) said to the Paralytic( second😊❤) " Son, your sins is forgiven."( Mark 2:5 ESV Study Bible) Are you also for (4) faith 😊❤ too in Christ😊❤ today? Back to Mark 2:8-12 "8 And Immediately😊❤ Jesus(😊1st❤), perceiving(" perceiving ones' hearts is deeper than seeing from the surface only ) in his spirit😊❤ ( for God is a spirit remember? ) that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, " Why do you question these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ' Your sins are forgiven, ' or to say, ' Rise, take up your bed and walk'? 10 But that 😊❤ you may😊❤ know😊❤ that the Son of Man ( " Son of Man" = Jesus😊100%❤= 100% man and 100% God too from John 1:1-2😊❤ so Jesus😊1st❤ ) has authority on earth ( you might ask to do what? ) to forgive😊❤ sins."- he( Jesus😊1st❤ our savior said) said to the paralytic - 11 " I say to you, rise😊❤ (1st) pick up your bed( 2nd), and go home( 3rd)."( ESV Study Bible) Question time: what do you think the paralytic man did? Did he follow what Jesus told him from 1st to 3rd instruction from Mark 2:11 "11 " I say to you, rise😊❤ (1st) pick up your bed( 2nd), and go home( 3rd)."( ESV Study Bible) Let see from Mark 2:12 "12 And he rose( 1st checked) and immediately pick up his bed( 2nd checked) and went out before them all, so they were all amazed😊❤ and glorified😊❤ God( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven), saying, " We never saw anything like this! " "( Mark 2:1-12 ESV Study Bible above all in all and all parenthesis part and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ in Christ😊❤ too. Are you 4 faith today in Christ😊❤ too ? Jesus saw their( 4 men's faith) faith😊❤ in Jesus(😊1st❤ ) in Christ from Mark 2:5a. Mark 2:5 " 5 And when Jesus (😊1st❤ ) saw theirfaith,... " ( " faith" trust in Jesus😊1st❤ means faith to me in Christ), he( Jesus😊1st❤) said the paralytic, " Son, your sins is forgiven."( Mark 2:5 ESV Study Bible)
