“And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.”
Genesis 40:4 KJV
The captain of the guard placed them under Joseph’s charge, and they remained in custody for some time. Joseph was a type of Christ. Jesus was falsely accused, maligned and crucified between two thieves at Calvary. The one next to Jesus was released to enter Paradise, and the other killed. So it was with the two men imprisoned with Joseph, three days after they were released! Christ was rejected by His brothers, sold by one of His own and then cast into the prison of death. The inner strength of loving and serving in painful circumstances made Joseph’s soul as strong as iron. He learned to serve and rule over himself first, before God released him to rule over others. The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. That is why He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Hallelujah!
