Miketz from a Messianic Perspective

From Joseph’s life, we also learn about unwavering integrity. Despite the trials he faced, Joseph remained faithful to God. Similarly, Yeshua calls his followers to live lives of integrity, reflecting God’s love through their actions. This means staying true to one’s faith and principles, even when facing difficulties. Practical faith involves everyday acts of kindness, honesty, and moral strength, which collectively build a testimony of integrity.
