Intimate relationship with others
Joseph loved his father, brothers, his “boss”, his enemies. Every person he came in touch with, he loved them with integrity. He forgave those who intended harm for him e.g. Potiphars wife. Choose to love women, honour them as sisters except your wife who you have a unique relationship with in marriage. Joseph ran from Potiphars house. When he was eventually restored in Potiphars house, he didn’t have bitterness. He had restored relationships with his brothers. He forgave them. What the enemy intended for harm, God turned it around. We need to have violent, radical love for one another. Freely forgive. God’s grace will come if there is hurt.
Scott used the illustration of washing each others feet. Something happens in our hearts. We are called to wash each others feet. We all have imperfections. When our feet are clean, it feels good. When we are kind to each other, we feel good. We are not made to fight with each other or to enjoy war or sin. We are made to enjoy peace and love. Satan tries to pervert us. We need to be like Joseph and be radical in forgiveness. There is joy in the Kingdom of God. We look at each others differences and it’s all wiped away because of God. Be alive in faith and in Jesus ALONE!
