7.7.09 Gn41, Mk12

Genesis 41:
Pharoah had dreams this time. He dreamed about 7 fat cows coming out of the Nile river, However, they were eaten by the 7 lean cows coming up after the fat. He also dreamed about 7 healthy grain heads, but they were also eaten by the 7 weak grain heads. He was troubled, but no one in Egypt could explain to him what the meaning of the dreams was. Pharoah's cupbearer now remebered Joseph, and recommended Pharoah seeing Joseph. When pharoah asked Joseph if he could interpret dreams for people, Joseph said that he could not, but God could. After hearing Pharoah's dreams, Joseph told him that the 7 fat cows and healthy grain head represent 7 good years, and the 7 lean cows and 7 weak grain heads represent 7 years famine. He suggested have someone take charge of the food, and store them up. Pharoah couldn't find anyone better Joseph, so he appointed Joseph to take care of the who Egypt for him. Joseph used many methosed to store up food. The first 7 years are good, and the famine came afterwards just as Joseph had prophesized. All land ran out of food except Egypt, and every country come to Egypt to buy food.

Mark 12:
Jesus is still in Jerusalem, and he started telling people the parable about the tenats: a vineyard owner rented out his field to some people, and when harvest time came, he sent his servents to get what he desired. However, the tenants wounded the first one, and kill the second. The owner ten sent some more servants, they were all either beat up, or killed. At last, he sent his son, thinking that they would respect him, however, the tenants think that if the son is killed then, they could have the land forever. After the son waskilled, the vineyard owner was angry that he took back all his rent out and gave it to someone else.
People then challeged him saying whether it's okay to pay tax, and Jesus examined a piece of coin and told people give back what is Caeasar's.
The next challenge is this: people asked Jesus what if a widow married all the brothers is the family, and yet didn't have children for any of them, and to whom would she be called wife of? Jesus told them that in heaven there would be no marriage.
People asked about the greatest command, Jesus said that Love God, and Love neighbors as the first two command.
Jesus then asked who's son Christ was and why did he come from David yet David still calls him Lord.
Jesus value most no with how much one gives, but what proportion of 0ne's life is dedicated to serve him.
