Yusufu anaonyesha ushindi wa imani.\u201d<\/p><p>Yusufu ni mojawapo ya picha nzuri zaidi za Bwana Yesu katika Maandiko yote. Wote wawili walipendwa na baba zao na kuchukiwa na ndugu zao. Mungu Baba alifurahishwa na Mwana kabla ya kufanyika mwili kwake.

Baba alimpenda sana Mwana kwa ukamilifu wa maadili aliouona kwa Yule ambaye angetoa uhai wake (Yohana 10:17). Baba anampenda Mwana na amemkabidhi vitu vyote mikononi mwake (Yohana 3:35).<\/p><p>Maisha ya Yusufu hakika yanaonyesha ushindi wa imani na upendo ambao baba yake alikuwa nao kwake, lakini hakuna kinachoweza kulinganishwa na uhusiano wa upendo kati ya Baba na Mwana.<\/p><p><strong>Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong><br \/><em>Baba, Mwanao mpendwa ni wa thamani sana kwako,<\/em><br \/><em>Ambaye ndani yake unamkamilisha, Mtakatifu wako, mbarikiwa.<\/em><\/p><p><em>Yeye, thamani yenyewe kwako, kwetu pia ni ya thamani;<\/em><br \/><em>Kila uzuri ndani Yake tunauona, Na mtazamo wako wa utukufu.<br \/>-Haijulikani<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loved By His Father \u201cNow Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age.
