Genesis 45:25 - 46:4 - Reviving Jacob - Kevin Maloney

Sometimes life brings disappointments that tempt us to doubt God's goodness toward us. Over time, our hearts can struggle with cynicism, pessimism, and a lens that struggles to imagine where God is in all of this. In Genesis 45, Jacob find himself in a similar place - grappling with the inconceivable news that his son is alive and unable to embrace the good news. As Kevin explains, the remedy for our cynicism is not found in our own mustering. Rather, it's a result of seeing our lives through the lens of the gospel. In Christ, God has demonstrated that He is our ultimate good, that He loves us and is with us in every season, and His promises are true.
