Ge 41:57 So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all lands.
Joseph became the Prime Minister of Egypt. Through his God-given wisdom and managerial skills, he made Egypt the richest country in the world.
Joseph is a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as all must come to Joseph to buy grain and survive, so all must come to the Lord Jesus Christ for the bread of life.
The difference is that while Joseph's grain was for sale, the Lord Jesus' bread of life is not; His offer of eternal life is for free. He paid for it with His life when He died on the cross for you.
A scourge of a severe and fatal spiritual famine has smitten the earth because of man's sin. Men and women everywhere are spiritually
perishing.
Has God opened your eyes to see your desperate condition? Or are you, in pride, still resisting the conviction of the Holy Spirit (Acts 7:51), insisting that you are fine and good and therefore see no need to come to Christ for the bread of life?
Humble yourself, realize and acknowledge your need and come to Christ for eternal life that's free.
