January 19, read the Bible in a year in PowerPoint; commented.

John 12:20-50 . Some Greeks came to Jesus and Jesus prophesied about his being “lifted up, and draw all men to himself”, and some believed. Many Jews also believed but kept quiet for fear of being put out of the synagogues.

Genesis 36 records the genealogy of Esau and the rulers of Edom.

Genesis 37 tells of Joseph’s dreams, outrageous as they were, they made his brothers jealous, so they sold him into slavery to the Ishmaelites, and then the Midianites sold him to Potiphar in Egypt.

10. He stood before rulers.
11. His power was acknowledged by those in authority.
12. He saves his rebellious brothers from death when they realize who he is.

14. He embraces God’s purpose even though it brings him intense physical harm.
15. He is the instrument God uses at the hands of the Gentiles to bless his people.
