Glorification

Joseph walked to where his brothers were keeping the family sheep, sure that they would be glad to see him. Little did he know that they were very jealous of him and planned to kill him?   Eventually, through the actions of the first-born brother Rueben he was not killed but only sold to traders on their way to Egypt. The only beloved son of Israel becomes the one sold to Egypt by his brethren freedom but also becomes the incredible picture of Glorification or what God finally plans for His children. We are trained in this world but are destined for the throne of heaven.  It seems incredible; about as incredible as a prisoner becoming a governor in one day.   In one day we shall be made immortal and raised up to sit with Christ upon the royal throne of heaven.  Right now we don’t look that different from everyone else.   The world cannot see that you are a king or prince and son of God and who really a cares. Joseph looked like a prisoner to everyone else; just the same but God had a Day coming.

Friend, like Rueben our firstborn brother of the new creation stepped up to keep us from death that eventually we may reign.  Today all creation is waiting for the manifestation of the Sons of God, when they rise from the prison of the earth, to rule with the King in the kingdom.
