tell the story of Joseph to this point
do not take the entire time

16 When the news reached Pharaoh’s palace, “Joseph’s brothers have come,” Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and go on back to the land of Canaan.
18 Get your father and your families, and come back to me.
I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you can eat from the richness of the land.’
19 You are also commanded to tell them, ‘Do this: Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your dependents and your wives and bring your father here.
20 Do not be concerned about your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’
” 21 The sons of Israel did this.
Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had commanded, and he gave them provisions for the journey.
22 He gave each of the brothers changes of clothes, but he gave Benjamin three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothes.
23 He sent his father the following: ten donkeys carrying the best products of Egypt and ten female donkeys carrying grain, food, and provisions for his father on the journey.
24 So Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Don’t argue on the way.” 25 So they went up from Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.
26 They said, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them.
27 But when they told Jacob all that Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
28 Then Israel said, “Enough!
My son Joseph is still alive.
I will go to see him before I die.”

I love the honesty of the Bible… “Do not argue on the way.”

what would the brothers have to argue about…
Joseph was alive… who was the most to blame from the start
Joseph was alive… who was going to tell Dad…
what were they going to tell Dad…
28 Then Israel said, “Enough!
My son Joseph is still alive.
I will go to see him before I die.”
remind them of how Jacob came to believe Joseph was dead
We have been through most of this story of Joseph…
at times we have put ourselves in the shoes of Joesph...
we have been betrayed, forgotten, wrongfully accused
but as we have gone through this we realize, that we are not him
look at the grace that he has shown, the forgiveness that he has offered
he looks more like Jesus than we do
So then we begin to look at ourselves as the brothers…
we can be selfish, we lie cheat and steal to get ahead
we can be jealous of others based on what we perceive is justice
There is a line from an old TV show, a young lady was screaming at somebody…
“I tried so hard not to become my mother, I became my father!”
When we look back at this story, we realize we are Jacob
we are in the background… just waiting to die
feeling like there is noting that God can do with or for us
that the dream that had been passed from his grandfather, Abraham, through Isaac to Jacob is dead and gone because of the death of his son
and we look at the entire world and wonder… “where did God go?”
because we do not see him working in our life, there is not great revival here… God must not be doing that anymore
His Son was Dead
He had no problem believing that his son was dead
How the brothers told Jacob that Joseph was dead...
they never told him that he was dead
is this your sons coat… he jumped to the conclusion of being eaten by an animal
even though he sent him to brothers that hated him
in a dangerous place the that brothers had killed before
live like he was dead
Benjamin can go with you because he is now the favorite
we see him depressed throughout the story, why do all the bad things keep happening to me…
Their father Jacob said to them, “It’s me that you make childless.
Joseph is gone, and Simeon is gone.
Now you want to take Benjamin.
Everything happens to me!”
36 Their father Jacob said to them, “It’s me that you make childless.
Joseph is gone, and Simeon is gone.
Now you want to take Benjamin.
Everything happens to me!”
May God Almighty cause the man to be merciful to you so that he will release your other brother and Benjamin to you.
As for me, if I am deprived of my sons, then I am deprived.”
May God Almighty cause the man to be merciful to you so that he will release your other brother and Benjamin to you.
As for me, if I am deprived of my sons, then I am deprived.”
This is the cry of a man that does not believe that God is for him…
and if we are honest… that is where a lot of live
Far too many of us live our lives happy that Jesus died on the cross for our sins… that we are forgiven, but that He is still in the grave...
We have no problem believing in death… we are used to it
and we just are waiting to die so that we can be with him
We celebrate that, as we should
not realizing that Jesus is alive right now!
Jesus took the full wrath of God upon himself, because of your sin and mine
Jacob never sent out a search party…
