Joseph #3 - The Test

Twenty-two years after selling Joseph into slavery, his brothers travel to Egypt for food and unknowingly bow before him. God's promise has unfolded slowly, and years of hardship have taught Joseph wisdom to seek their restoration rather than reveal himself immediately. His severe test brings hidden sin before God, making painful exposure an act of kindness that can lead towards repentance. Christ's cross answers exposed sin with forgiveness and new life, opening the way to restored fellowship with God. Bible Reference: Genesis 42 Preacher: KJ Tromp
