Lesson_68_Potiphars_House

Joseph is sold to Potiphar, the captain of Pharaoh's guard. Even as a slave, Joseph is so excellent and

honorable that God blesses everything he does, and Potiphar puts him in charge of his entire massive estate.

But Joseph's integrity is soon put to a brutal test. Potiphar's wife repeatedly tries to seduce him. Joseph refuses,

telling her that it would be a wicked sin against God and against his master. One day, she corners him in an

empty house and grabs his cloak. Joseph literally runs for his life, leaving his coat in her hands. Furious at

being rejected, she uses the coat to falsely accuse him of assault, and Joseph is thrown into a dark Egyptian

dungeon. Today, we focus on the physical action of fleeing danger, the definition of absolute integrity, and the

painful reality that doing the right thing sometimes hurts.
