A PICTURE OF GOD

Genesis 44:1-13

Joseph is a wonderfully vivid picture of Jesus, and so of God. He was misunderstood, envied, hated bitterly, plotted against even to the point of death. His brothers were hard­ened in their attitude to the last degree. His task of love was to handle them so tactfully and wisely and firmly that his love would change their hearts toward him, and so their character. It’s a wondrous picture of God’s forgiveness. And God’s is the standard for ours.
