“And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.”
Exodus 13:19 KJV
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear to do this. He said, “God will certainly come to help you. When He does, you must take my bones with you from this place.” Joseph was sure that the Hebrews will enter the promised land and before his death made them promise to take his bones, because he believed in the covenant of the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. It was by faith that Joseph, when he was about to die, said confidently that the people of Israel would leave Egypt. He even commanded them to take his bones with them when they left. This faith is what God commends. For us in Christ, has God obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also Christ is the Mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. Let’s have faith in the better covenant Christ made with us. Amen!
