In Genesis 43:1–45:15, Joseph’s brothers journey to Egypt for the second time, this time with Benjamin in tow, where they are tested by, and ultimately reconciled to, Joseph. Listen as Pastor Luke Herche preaches on this passage, taking a closer look at the events that unfold, at the character and actions of Jacob and his sons, and especially at Judah, the one through whom God’s promised child who would bless the nations would come.

Part of a series on the book of Genesis.

Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions:

What part of this story is most moving to you and why?

How does Judah distinguish himself as a leader among God’s people? How does his leadership point us to Jesus? How is his leadership a model for us?

Think of an area of your life where you have relational struggles. How might a willingness to lead by sacrifice for others be used by God to restore intimacy?
