As Potiphar took Joseph, will you not take Jesus?
Has He not proven Himself worthy to be trusted? Come and say, "Jesus shall
have entire charge; He is worthy." Think not only of His Divine power, but
think of His wonderful love; think of His coming from heaven to save you;
think of His dying on Calvary and shedding His blood out of intense love
for you. Oh, think of it; Christ in heaven loves every one who is given to
Him, and whom He has made a child of God. "Having loved His own that were
in the world, He loved them unto the end."
Must I plead in the name of the love of the crucified Jesus; must I plead
with you Christians, and say, Look at Jesus, the Son of God, your Redeemer,
and ask you to make Him overseer over all? Give Him charge of your temper,
your heart's affections, your thoughts, your whole being, and He will prove
Himself worthy of it. Joseph had been for a time just a common slave, and
with the other slaves had served Pharaoh. Alas! many a Christian has used
Christ for his own advancement and comfort, just as he uses everything in
the world.
