Genesis 42-45 - The Redeemer - Kevin Maloney

After decades of separation and betrayal, Joseph is finally reunited with the brothers who sold him into slavery. What could have been a moment of revenge for Joseph becomes a moment of forgiveness, grace, and total freedom. Joseph's redemptive actions here provide us a picture of the redemptive work of God in our lives. Jesus was our perfect Redeemer. He paid for our sin on the cross, bearing our shame and adopting us into the family of God. He reveals our sin, draws us to repentance with His kindness, and gives us the lavish gift of His grace.
