What's the sound of reconciliation?
Joseph has tested his brothers and found out how they have changed in the twenty years since they sold him away to Egypt. As Judah offers himself to take the punishment in place of Benjamin, Joseph can no longer keep his true identity from his brothers. When all the truth comes to light, will Jacob's sons finally be reunited in true brotherhood?
This week we begin reading through Genesis 45, and see the culmination of Joseph's plans to test the hearts of his brothers. We'll study how Joseph internalized the truth of trusting in a sovereign God and see how that allowed him to live out forgiveness toward his brothers. We'll learn the three steps Joseph takes to reconcile with his brothers, and we'll see how Joseph is a picture of how God longs to be reconciled to us today. This is what reconciliation sounds like!
