Guilty Conscience (8 of 13)
Series: Integrity of Joseph
Stephen Whitney
Genesis 42:1-28
In August 1999 a 17-year-old boy robbed a bank in Hermiston, OR but his plan failed when he accidently locked himself inside the trunk of his car to change his clothes so he wouldn't be recognized.
The temperature in the eastern Oregon town was 102 degrees and as a result of the stifling heat he had to call for help as he was locked in the trunk for several minutes and could not get out.
Sin has a way of finding us out one way or another because God does not want us to get away with breaking his laws.
In Numbers 32 two of the tribes of Israel want to settle on the east side of the Jordan River, but they make a promise to the rest of the tribes that they will fight with them until they completely defeat the nations living on the west side of the Jordan River.
Moses tells them, ''If you do not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, and be sure your sin will find you out (23).''
John Gill - ''It will accuse them in their consciences, charge and load them with guilt, and bring deserved punishment upon them.''
God does not allow us to get away with sin because:
1. Sin breaks his law so we must be punished.
2. Sin challenges his divine sovereignty over us.

He was 17 when they sold him (37:2) and now he is 30 (41:46).
:4 Benjamin - is now 20 years old, but Jacob is afraid that something bad might happen to him and he is the only son
left of his favorite wife Rachel who died giving birth to him.
