You remember John Colter?
He was stripped of everything
But in spite of that he still finished strong
I’ve got a question for you
Was Colter really stripped of everything
The answer is NO!
Colter was stripped of his clothes but not his courage
Colter was stripped of his weapons but not of his will
Colter was stripped of his provisions but not his purpose
Colter was stripped of his comforts but not his composure
That’s he reminds me of Joseph
Joseph was stripped of his coat but not his character
Joseph was stripped of his family but not his future
Joseph was stripped of his position but not of his purity
Joseph was stripped of his accomplishments but not of his attitude
No wonder Joseph finished strong
John Colter really does remind me of Joseph
But the more I look at Joseph
The more he reminds me of Jesus
Joseph and Jesus had a lot in common
Joseph was rejected by his brothers, so was Jesus
Joseph was loved by his father, so was Jesus
Joseph was victorious over temptation, so was Jesus
Joseph was taken into custody because of a false witness so was Jesus
Joseph suffered for doing what was right, so did Jesus
Joseph was promoted from prison to rule the nation, Jesus was
Promoted from prison of death to rule the nations
Jesus finished strong
Some guys may be thinking
Of course He finished strong He’s God
That’s true He is God and you would expect
God to finish strong but you don’t have to be God to finish strong
You just have to depend on God
That’s actually what Jesus did when he was on earth
And once again Joseph and Jesus have something in common
Whom are you depending on
You can still finish strong no matter the lousy start
