Genesis 42:25-43:14 – God Builds a Man (Part 7)
Genesis 42:25-43:14 – God Builds a Man (Part 7) Joseph, a Prefigure of King Jesus, employs a brilliant plan of reconciliation to rescue his family from broken relationships and starvation. Despite his brother’s past sin of selling him into slavery, Joseph reveals that grace and love precede reconciliation through his incredible acts of generosity. God’s plan of reconciliation through Jesus is always for your good and His glory! Pastor JC’s sermon from Genesis 42:25-43:14 – God Builds a Man (Part 7), reveals the depth of God’s love for you and His plan to equip you to reconcile with others!
A PATIENT PLAN OF RECONCILIATION IS:
1) SLOW TO SPEAK – QUICK TO LISTEN
2) OTHERS CENTERED
3) HAS REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
4) STAYS FOCUSED ON RECONCILIATION
GRACE PRECEDES RECONCILIATION
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
– Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV) https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/eph/2/8-9/s_1099008
LOVE PRECEDES RECONCILIATION
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
– Romans 5:8 (NKJV) https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/rom/5/8/s_1051008
GUILT HINDERS US FROM RECEIVING GOD’S GRACE
JOSEPH’S PLAN OF RECONCILIATION TESTS THE CHARACTER OF HIS BROTHERS
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
– Matthew 5:3-10 (NKJV) https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/mat/5/3-10/s_934003
TWO KINDS OF LEADERSHIP:
INWARDLY FOCUSED = SELF PRESERVATION (small kingdom)
OUTWARDLY FOCUSED = OTHERS CENTERED (Big Kingdom)
FAMINE OFTEN BRINGS US TO THE FEET OF JESUS
“At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God.”
– John 6:66-69 (NLT) https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/jhn/6/66-69/s_1003066
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
– Romans 8:28 (NKJV) https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/rom/8/28/s_1054028
GOD’S PLAN OF RECONCILIATION IS ALWAYS FOR YOUR GOOD
ARE YOU WITHOLDING SOMETHING OR SOMEONE FROM THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS?
“Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.”
– Luke 17:33 (NKJV) https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/luk/17/33/s_990033
