Episode 17 - The Joseph Series: A Father and Son Reunion (Genesis 46:1-7, 26-34, Galatians 6:9 NIV)


Listen Later

Jacob and Joseph's emotional reunion in Genesis 46 mirrors our own longing to be reconciled with our Heavenly Father. God meets Jacob at a familiar place to reassure him about his journey to Egypt, promising to make his family into a great nation and confirming he will see his long-lost son again.

This quick episode covers:

• God calls Jacob by name twice, meeting him in a place of previous encounter to reassure him
• Joseph's continual concern for his father reveals the depth of their relationship
• The emotional reunion between father and son parallels the parable of the Prodigal Son
• Our hearts contain a "God-shaped void" that can only be filled through reunion with our Heavenly Father
• Waiting periods, though painful, often lead to the fulfillment of God's promises in His perfect timing
• God keeps His word, even when fulfillment takes years or decades
