“Then
she said to her husband, ‘The Hebrew servant you brought to us came in to mock
me’.” Genesis 39:17
Falsely accused! Oh the pain of
being falsely accused and reviled for no just cause. There are few who have
never felt the shame and pain of it. Joseph had been experiencing it for years.
He had told his brothers about his dreams and they falsely accused him of
deliberately trying to place himself above them. Now his master’s wife falsely
accused him of attempted rape.
But what about when we are justly
accused? Satan takes our sin before God every day and accuses us with it. But
unlike Joseph before Potiphar, we have a just Advocate. Jesus declares us not
guilty by reason of His own punishment for us. Satan fails in his accusations
because the Father loves the Son, and we who believe in Christ belong to the
Father through the Son. What joy and delight to be freed from accusation! What
joy to reciprocate that freedom with love and worship of our beloved Savior,
Jesus Christ!
Dear Father, Thank You for giving
Christ as our Advocate and freeing us from all condemnation. Amen.
