Life After Forgiveness (32 of 32)
Series: Genesis

Genesis 50
CONTEXT: We are in a series called, "God Built" where we have been looking at the life and times of this man Joseph. Specifically what God was doing in making him into a man of God.
We recognized early that God gave more space to the character of Joseph than he did to any other individual in Genesis. When we consider the fact that he only gave a verse to the stars... and he also made the stars... that is significant.
John Phillips said that tells us God is more interested in making saints than making stars.
This point is clear God is building Joseph through the good and bad of life and that's never more clear than in today's text.

• Slavery - Joseph was sold to a man named Potiphar, whose wife made advances at Joseph ultimately landing Joseph in prison.
• It was there that Joseph met a couple of guys the baker and cup bearer to pharaoh. They had dreams that ultimately brought Joseph before Pharaoh.
• Pharaoh made Joseph Vice Regent over all of Egypt.
• The Famine hit....Jacob and his boy turn to Egypt for survival...
• FORGIVENESS - Genesis 45: Eventually they are brought back together, forgiven, made peace, reconciled, restored.
• Genesis 47: Jacob is brought to Egypt, settled in Goshen, but in 47:30 - Jacob made Joseph swear that when he died he would bury him back in Canaan because he knew God's plan was to continue to unfold there.
• Genesis 48-49: Jacob speaks prophetic blessings over his sons.
• Genesis 50: Jacob dies.
TEXT: Genesis 50:15-21 (NASB95)
15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "What if Joseph bears a grudge against us and pays us back in full for all the wrong which we did to him!"
Now is that possible? Is it possible for Joseph to forgive his brothers on one occas ...
