The final section of Genesis reveals us to the awesome providence of God at work in Joseph’s life as a window into this doctrine that has and continues to cascade over all things for all time. This providence of God ultimately culminates in Christ. For this reason even as Jacob expresses his longing for the salvation of the Lord he unwittingly calls out for the name of Jesus (49:18).

Against the tide of the world today, the word of God speaks the truth about His design for women in marriage. His special calling for married women is submission and inner beauty. Wives are to submit to their husbands and adorn themselves with the inner beauty of godliness. May the Holy Spirit encourage the women of our church to pursue biblical womanhood as they learn from Christ and abide in Him.

The central human figure of Genesis 12-23 is Abraham, but this is no mere biography of Abraham. It is a story of faith and sin on his part and the story of the astonishing promise of the LORD to bless all the families of the earth through him, even through the one seed which God will produce from him, the Lord Jesus Christ. The promise of the worldwide blessing in Abram is more specified to be the promise in his seed. All of God’s promises to him ultimately culminates in that final seed of Abraham. The seed of the woman is the seed of Abraham and it is in Him that the blessing of God comes upon all of God’s people from all the nations.

In Genesis 4-11, Moses intertwines two themes of corruption and hope to show us that the sin of Adam perpetuates through the generations after him, without exception, and that the hope of the fulfillment of the promised seed continued throughout those generations. These chapters cover 20 generations of human corruption and hope amid all of human depravity in the seed of the woman. We today face a great deal of corruption also, both without and within, and our response is much like that of those who held fast to the promise of the LORD: we fix our eyes on the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ and earnestly hope in Him.

Moses moves on from the good of creation and Eden to the origin of evil. Evil comes by way of the deceiver. In this study, we examine who/what the serpent was as well as his strategy of deception. The promise of the seed of the woman is the final motif that begins in Genesis 3 that stretches through a major portion of Genesis and then developed through the rest of the Old Testament. The God of grace has given the promise of this seed, which looks ahead to Christ. He is the Victor over the deceiver and He shares His victory with all who are one with Him. In Christ, every child of God overcomes the world and the Devil. Hallelujah! What a Savior!

The goodness of God is evident in creation as it was originally made. Both in the product/generations of each day of creation week as well as in the paradise of the Garden of Eden, God showered upon man His blessed goodness. The human heart pines for restoration to such a paradise as this. God knows our longing and this nostalgia for good is the beginning of the story of the world seen from His eyes. How paradise was lost and how it is to be regained is what we will see in Gen. 3 next week.

Jesus is risen from the dead. Luke presents Jesus’ resurrection as historical and validated reality that began to be proclaimed in the world since the time of the eyewitnesses until now. There is hope, joy, and peace both in life and in the afterlife for all who repent and cling onto Christ as the risen Lord.

Jesus concludes His message to His disciples with the salvation promise of peace. This is a peace that is found in Christ, it withstands tribulation of the world, and it is grounded in the victory of Christ over the world. This peace is for all who join themselves to Christ and abide in Him.
