V.5, 7-9 Joseph mentioned God four times. God was behind the terrible experience of Joseph of being sold as a slave, and was preparing a way for the whole family to be preserved and blessed.
V.20 They were told not to worry about their own stuff (Phil. 4:66Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (Philippians 4:6)). Through suffering, Joseph received the crown (Heb. 1:3; 2:9-10; 9:283Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; (Hebrews 1:3)
9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. (Hebrews 2:9‑10)
28So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9:28)).
V.16-20 The happiness that Pharaoh and all in his house had when they heard the news of Joseph’s family, tells us what a grand reputation Joseph must have had.
V.25-28 Joseph had told them to tell his father of all his glory in Egypt (v. 13) but notice in verse 26 the first thing they tell their father! The great point of Christianity is that Jesus lives (Rev. 1:1818I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (Revelation 1:18)). Jacob had believed the lies his sons had once told him (Gen. 37:3232And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no. (Genesis 37:32)). Now when the truth is told, he will not believe. Many people gladly believe all the lies which are told about God. But they will not believe the truth. The day will come when God will make them believe a lie (2 Thess. 2:10-12).
