Genesis 45:1-15: Joseph is Revealed

One of the greatest demonstrations of mercy, grace, reconciliation, and forgiveness is presented in this passage. Judgment is clearly due, but judgment isn’t given. It’s the fruition of what Paul said, “We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” In Romans 8:28.
The main character in the story of Joseph is God and that’s illustrated as well.

A study of Genesis 45 1-15 based on “Explore the Bible: Spring 2023-24” from Lifeway. This is the 23rd lesson from Genesis prepared by Gary Stieber for Houston's First Baptist Church.
