The New Testament repeatedly points back to individuals from the Old Testament to demonstrate a life of saving faith. As Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones continues the study of Acts 7 with the sermon “A Blind World,” it is in Joseph that a kind of Christ is seen. Joseph was hated and betrayed by his brothers for no other reason than their jealousy and anger. But in a few years’ time, it was his brothers that came to him seeking help and relief from the famine. In a similar way, Jesus was persecuted, betrayed, and ultimately murdered because the Jewish leaders were jealous. The great irony is that the Jewish leaders murdered their own long-awaited Messiah, the very one who came to save them from their sins. Dr. Lloyd-Jones points out that this rejection of God and His will demonstrates the spiritual blindness and rebellion that propels opposition to the gospel. It is not clear and rational thought but blind prejudice that has its source in sinful hearts that will not submit to God’s ways. This must always be in mind when unbelief and opposition to the gospel is seen. It is not a matter of intelligent and reasonable methods that prompt people to harden their hearts when they hear of Christ and his death and resurrection but it is sin and unbelief. It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that anyone can come to true knowledge of God.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a godly man filled and baptised in the Holy Spirit, his uncompromising preaching was in fire for the Lord. Thankyou Heavenly Father for the preservation of this true exposition of your Word .
So very thankful that God lead me here.
Wonderful preaching from a true man of God. Thankyou once again.
Powerful. The World needs to hear this.
I’m not a preacher, but I imagine that delivering such a message of Jesus Christ must be draining. Thank you for publishing these sermons. I just found them yesterday. God feeds the sparrows, how much more His children.
All of Dr Jones's messages are tremendous and very well thought out. These sermons are true treasures.
Outstanding!!!
Serious, practical teaching .
Excellent message!
An expositor of expositors my mentor.
An orator of God ,a disciple, a man devout in religion😄😇
I'm listening to this sermon over and over again and taking notes. What a tremendous comparison of Jesus to Joseph and his brethren. If this sermon doesn't make you think then you don't have a brain.
Joseph is the patriarch of Messiah. Not Judah.

Below here in comments (boots) I read the word given us there and agree with that...and it is says very much about the good Dr. For decades I have heard and read this powerful preacher of the Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks "boots;" You said it all.
A true man of God.
An hour goes so quickly listening to him.
People were rejecting God thousands of years ago and they are still rejecting God today.
