Joseph the Forgiver

Text: Genesis 45

Introduction

What is the worst thing that you can imagine happening to you?

-being attacked, robbed, raped, killed by terrorist or evil person

-losing everything that you have — all your possessions, all your family

The worst thing that can happen to you is for you to receive justice from a holy God for your sin and rebellion against Him.
