Day 21: Joseph puts his brothers in prison, Jesus walks on water, Pharisees follow their traditions
In Genesis 41:41-42, Pharaoh elevates Joseph to a high position in Egypt after Joseph interprets his troubling dreams about seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine. Joseph skillfully manages Egypt's resources, storing grain during the plentiful years. When famine strikes, Joseph's estranged brothers come to Egypt for food, not recognizing him as their brother whom they sold into slavery. Will Joseph reveal his identity to his brothers, and if so, how will they react to the realization that their brother now holds their fate in his hands? In Matthew 14:22-33, Jesus astounds his disciples by walking on water during a stormy night, inviting Peter to join him. Peter, initially walking on water, begins to sink due to his fear and doubt, but Jesus saves him, emphasizing faith's power. The narrative then shifts in Matthew 15:1-9, where Jesus confronts the Pharisees and scribes about their adherence to human traditions over God's commandments, challenging their understanding of purity and devotion. As Peter sees Jesus walking on the turbulent sea, will he overcome his doubts and truly walk on water, or will his faith falter in the face of nature's fury?
