He grew up in a complicated family. He endured betrayal, hardship, injustice, and isolation. Yet in one of the Bible’s most dramatic reversals, Joseph rose to a place of power and authority, delivering God’s people and preserving the covenant family. In this series, we explore Genesis 37-50, following the story of God's providence in the life of a “beloved son" who prefigures a Greater Son to come.

Have Joseph's brothers changed? Will they leave Benjamin behind in Egypt, or will they intervene? In Genesis 44, we see Judah step forward as a substitute in his brother's place. In this moment, we see what God is doing through Judah, and through Jesus.
