Youre Chosen for a Task ! Hebrews 1:8,9 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. As we continue our study of Mashiach ben Yosef, we observe that both Joseph and Yeshua (Jesus) were chosen or anointed for a special task. When Jacob gifted his son Joseph with a coat of many colors, lifting him up above his brothers, he reflected Josephs calling by the Lord for a life work as a leader. The preparation for this role was grueling. Joseph endured the fires of testing, sold into slavery, thrown into prison, and seemingly abandoned by God he must have wondered to himself, “Why is this happening?” It seems clear from hindsight that Joseph was learning the deep humility required for Gods kind of leadership. We also see the humility of the Son of God in His Incarnation and crucifixion. (My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?) So as Joseph saved the whole world from physical death by starvation, Yeshua saved the whole world from spiritual death, the judgment of sin If you have seen signs of your own anointing for a specific task, and find yourself in the midst of painful unexplainable trials and tribulations, youre in good company. God gives responsibility to people of character. Both Joseph and Yeshua are beautiful examples of the kind of leader God loves–a humble one.
