Since the beginning of the new school year in September 2015, Rev Foster has been asked to speak at two morning assembly meetings each week. His theme for 2015-16 is DV, "Pictures of Christ in the Bible." Seventh Picture of Christ - Joseph Genesis 37:1-11 Joseph was beloved of his father. "Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children . . . and he made him a coat of many colours," Genesis 37:3. The father's favour was very evident. Here is typified the beautiful garment of righteousness which aroused the Father's love and delight in His Son. "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased," Matthew 3:17 and also Matthew 17:5. The many colours speak of the many wonderful graces Christ's holiness. "What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us? My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem," Song of Solomon 5:9-16.
