Is my father still living?\u201d But his brothers were not able to answer him, because they were terrified at his presence.\n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>4<\/b><\/font> Then Joseph said to his brothers, \u201cCome close to me.\u201d When they had done so, he said, \u201cI am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! \n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>5<\/b><\/font> And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. \n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>6<\/b><\/font> For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. \n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>7<\/b><\/font> But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.\n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>8<\/b><\/font> \u201cSo then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt. \n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>9<\/b><\/font> Now hurry back to my father and say to him, \u2018This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; don\u2019t delay. \n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>10<\/b><\/font> You shall live in the region of Goshen and be near me\u2014you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have. \n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>11<\/b><\/font> I will provide for you there, because five years of famine are still to come. Otherwise you and your household and all who belong to you will become destitute.\u2019\n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>12<\/b><\/font> \u201cYou can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin, that it is really I who am speaking to you. \n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>13<\/b><\/font> Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt and about everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.\u201d\n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>14<\/b><\/font> Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin embraced him, weeping. \n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>15<\/b><\/font> And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them. Afterward his brothers talked with him.\n<br><br> <br><\n\n<font color=\"red\">Matthew 15 v 21\u201328 \n<br><br> \nThe Faith of a Canaanite Woman<\/font>\n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>21<\/b><\/font> Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. \n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>22<\/b><\/font> A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, \u201cLord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.\u201d\n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>23<\/b><\/font> Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, \u201cSend her away, for she keeps crying out after us.\u201d\n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>24<\/b><\/font> He answered, \u201cI was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.\u201d\n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>25<\/b><\/font> The woman came and knelt before him. \u201cLord, help me!\u201d she said.\n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>26<\/b><\/font> He replied, \u201cIt is not right to take the children\u2019s bread and toss it to the dogs.\u201d\n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>27<\/b><\/font> \u201cYes it is, Lord,\u201d she said. \u201cEven the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master\u2019s table.\u201d\n<br><br> \n<font color=\"blue\"><b>28<\/b><\/font> Then Jesus said to her, \u201cWoman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.\u201d And her daughter was healed at that moment.\n<br><br> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sermon from St Andrews Church, Slip End, UK.
