Genesis 45: The Betrayed Calls The Betrayer to Draw Near

Chapter 45 is a beautiful portrait of the Gospel, mirroring the language and actions of our Savior as he weeps for the lost (Joseph weeps for his lost brothers), calls us to himself (Joseph asks his betrayers to draw close), grants us the gifts of the Spirit (Joseph grants gifts to his entire family) and sends us out to bring others to him (Joseph ask his brothers to bring his father to him) so we can all be together as one reconciled family in our eternal dwelling (Joseph prepares the best land in Egypt for them to rest). Listen to God's call and come immediately to Him!
