Joseph #7 - The Future

Jacob’s family reaches a hopeful ending, but not because its members became good enough. Their intended harm becomes part of God’s work to save many lives. God restores this divided family through forgiveness and carries His larger promise forward through them. Joseph treats his fearful brothers kindly, then arranges for his bones to leave Egypt when God brings Israel home. The future rests on God’s faithful character, so His free forgiveness can replace pride with humble forgiveness. Bible Reference: Genesis 49–50 Preacher: KJ Tromp
