The Pledge of Judah and the Plan of God

Andrew Murch · As we explore the narrative of Genesis 44-45, we need to zoom out. Sure, we need to see the beginning of the tension between Joseph and his brothers... the slavery, the prison, the rise to power. But we should go even further, past the immediate context, and look at the family of promise. From Abraham to Moses to David, we see a God that continually stays faithful to his chosen family. And finally, when we adjust the binoculars once more, zooming out to see the entire story, we see the promise itself, found in the salvation that comes from the work of Jesus.
