Genesis
40:1-23
He restored the chief cup-bearer
to his position, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand. But he
hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. Yet the
chief cup-bearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot
him.
While there is a very real psychological trauma that happens when being forgotten, there is equally a theological hope that comes when we find ourselves left alone. As much as it hurts, God refuses waste this emptiness but rather fills it with himself. This paradox is one of the most beautiful attributes of Christianity. Joseph had done a kindness and then was forgotten. We have a lot to learn about being alone and how to help those who are abandoned by the world, their families, and their church. Join us as we worship a God who will never forget his deep love for us.
