But there's another beautiful picture attached to forgiveness that I want to show you here.
Now therefore I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad, a bondman to my
Lord, and let the lad go up with his brethren.
For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me?
Lest, peradventure, I see the evil that shall come on my father.
Judah represents the Lord Jesus Christ.
Who do you think his father represents?
God, the Father.
And Joseph represents the brother or sister in Christ that has been done wrong by another
brother or sister in Christ.
And what Judah is saying is, for my father's sake, let me step in.
Let Benjamin be spared.
You know, for God the Father's sake, forgive your brothers and sisters in Christ that have
done you wrong.
Even if they don't deserve it.
But they did this to me.
Yeah, that's the whole thing about forgiveness.
They did something to you.
But here's the thing, even though you don't want to forgive, for God's sake, can you just
forgive your brother or your sister in Christ that have done you wrong?
