This blog seeks to promote and establish ecumenism among all groups and denominations of the Christian Faith via expressions in written language, and through any means of communication. We seek the promotion of others that are working towards the same common goal, as well. The prayer of Jesus in John 17: 21 was: "I pray that they may all be one…." Ultimately and eternally, the creation of unity among all believers and followers of Christ is sought desiring harmony with and for all of humanity.
What is enormous about this one seemingly insignificant verse is the question one should be asking after reading. What is the question? What if this king would have known who Joseph was? The answer may be a bit speculative, but most likely the 500 years of slavery which followed would have never taken place. Of course, Moses would have probably had a completely different life, if he would have ever been born at all.
