Bibledoorajar Speaks of Authority in the Highest

There was no doubt about it. Pharoah decided to give preference to Joseph,  exalting the revealer of secrets to a position in his land second only to the king. He was robed and given a golden chain and rode in a chariot next to the king. Everyone was made to understand that Joseph's rule was to be obeyed as decreed by the King. The people were instructed to bow their knee to him. What a change from all that innocent suffering Joseph had endured in prison. His new Egyptian name “Zaphenath-paneah” reflected his ability to know hidden secrets and an ability to heal and save. The brightest glories of Egypt were upon him. Joseph was thirty years of age when he received his special authority and left the presence of Pharoah to accomplish gathering, keeping and disposing of the nation's food supplies.

Years later a more Magnificent Servant left the presence of His father to carry out His special authority in the earth.  All power was given to Him in both heaven and earth. His authority extends as  gatherer, keeper, and disposer of all the stores of divine grace among men. He began His ministry at age thirty and he went all through the lands demonstrating his authority. Most importantly, He was demonstrating who He was to His disciples to whom He would also extend great authority.

 "Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”  They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.  Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him."
                                                                   Quoted from the gospel of Matthew


If the then known world wanted food they would need to recognize the authority given to Joseph. Today if the world wants spiritual food they must recognize the authority given to Jesus by the Father.
As Peter said, He is the Messiah. All must bow to Him. Have you taken such a step yet?
