“Then
Jacob said, ‘It is enough, Joseph, my son, is alive’.” Genesis 45:28
What is your greatest hope in life?
Is it to be a multi-millionaire, to have the nicest house in town, to have the
greatest respect in the community? Jesus told us that a man who gained the
whole world but lost his soul had made a bad bargain. But what about the souls
of our children? Is our goal for them prosperity, security, and importance, or
is it knowing Christ and having new life in Him. Joseph’s position in Egypt
meant nothing to Jacob. That Joseph was alive meant everything.
Life, real life, eternal life, is
that our goal for our children? Would we be happy if we were certain they had
that even if they lacked most of the other amenities of life? Jacob was happy
that Joseph was alive. We are only truly alive if we are alive in Christ.
Investments in silver or gold will perish. Investing in our children’s lives
for eternity will last.
Dear Father, Give us a heart that
burns for the eternal life of our children. Amen.
