Gen 43:3-11; 1 Cor 15:35-38, 42-50; Luke 6:27-38 - Looking at Judah's moral arc - is he an inhumane monster, a practical realist just trying to do the best he can in a bad situation, or the saint of the story who sets things right? Yes, all of the above. Just like us, Judah has to undergo a sort of death to self so that he can become who God and his family want and need him to become. In his story, we see our own!
