A Reunion In Goshen

When they arrived, Joseph treated them royally, weeping openly at the sight of his baby brother. Simeon was released. After buying their food, they started back home. But when they started back home, a servant that accused them of stealing Joseph’s silver cup stopped them. The cup was found in Benjamin’s bag, where Joseph had placed it. The brothers returned to face Joseph, who declared that Benjamin must stay in Egypt. About that time, Judah began to beg, saying that this would break their daddy’s heart.

Joseph was overcome with emotion. He revealed himself to them as their brother, whom they had sold into slavery many years ago. At first the brothers were afraid that Joseph would take revenge against them, but soon were convinced that Joseph’s forgiveness was genuine. Judah’s plea on Benjamin’s behalf was evidence of the change that Joseph longed for. He sent them back to Canaan with gifts for his daddy and invited them to come live in Egypt.

The grace of God working in the family is evident in the way that Joseph dealt with his brothers. He did not want revenge he wanted restoration. He realized that his personal sufferings had preserved his family, as an instrument of God’s divine will.
