Genesis 50:15-26 – Joseph’s Faithfulness Unto Death, is our final passage in the book of Genesis! Joseph is a prefigure of King Jesus even unto death. Joseph parallels Christ’s character through absolute forgiveness, a selfless and sacrificial life and last words that point future generations to Jesus! Many people believe in God, but their lack of Bible literacy leads to misunderstandings of God’s character and love towards them. Don’t miss a powerful message revealing God’s heart of forgiveness displayed in Joseph toward his brothers. As a parent, a spouse or even as a friend may we learn from Joseph that our authority should be used to build up others. Listen to Pastor JC’s sermon from Genesis 50:15-26 – Joseph’s Faithfulness Unto Death, and walk in the truth of Jesus forgiveness for you and through you!
God’s Forgiveness is Absolute
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
“Once again you will have compassion on us. You will trample our sins under your feet and throw them into the depths of the ocean!”
“He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.”
“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.”
“When you doubt God’s Word, you soon begin to doubt God’s love.”
– Warren Wiersbe

A Gospel-centered Perspective Produces a Sacrificial View on Life
“Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, ‘I will take revenge; I will pay them back,’ says the Lord. Instead, ‘If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.’ Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.”
A Gospel-centered Perspective Produces Vision for an Abundant Life
“So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when He adopted you as His own children. Now we call Him, ‘Abba, Father.'” For His Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. And since we are his children, we are His heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share His glory, we must also share His suffering.”
