Joseph #5 - The Reconciliation

Joseph faces the brothers who beat and sold him, but their changed actions move him to tears rather than revenge. He sees that God used twenty-two years of suffering to preserve lives and bring a broken family together. Reconciliation grows as people acknowledge sin, truly repent and change their behaviour. God can use painful tests to shape people, while their growth affects those around them. Through Christ’s death, sinners can finally be reconciled to their true Father and share in His larger purpose. Bible Reference: Genesis 45:1–16 Preacher: James Ring
