Genesis: a Nine Week Study: Genesis: a Nine Week Sudy Becky Smith

Publisher Marketing: Taking just a few minutes each day, we will go verse by verse through the entire book of Genesis in nine weeks. Each week ends with a review and study questions. Now, I know what you are thinking. You are thinking "Genesis? I already know Genesis. God said let there be light. Noah built the Ark. Joseph had a coat of many colors." Most of you have read about Noah and the judgment of God, which destroyed almost all of mankind with a flood. But have you considered God's Mercy when you read the story of the flood? It is there in neon lights! Many of you have colored a picture in Sunday School of Joseph wearing his coat of many colors. But what about the other coats that Joseph wore? Joseph wore a coat in Potiphar's house. Potiphar's wife used this coat against him. Pharaoh then gave Joseph a coat, and this coat exalted him, making him second in Egypt only to Pharaoh. Then Joseph gave coats to his brothers. These coats were given in love and forgiveness. Then we have those wonderful portions of Genesis that are not as widely studied. What about Melchizedek? He is a wonderful picture of our Lord Jesus Christ. We can see Christ in everyone that we have mentioned. Jesus is present in the Godhead at creation. We see Him pictured in the person of Noah and Joseph. We also see Him, of course, in Abraham, Isaac, and even old Jacob. The book of Genesis is all about Him. Over the next nine weeks, may we see the person of Jesus Christ as never before!
