Genesis 44–45 brings Joseph’s long and painful story with his brothers to its emotional climax. After years of separation, Joseph tests his brothers one final time, and Judah’s willingness to sacrifice himself for Benjamin reveals how dramatically their hearts have changed. What follows is one of the most moving scenes in Scripture as Joseph finally reveals his identity, forgives his brothers, and declares that God had been working through their evil intentions to accomplish His greater purpose. Pastor Carl helps us see a beautiful picture of God’s providence, forgiveness, reconciliation—and even a glimpse of the gospel as one brother offers himself for another.
