From Famine to Feast | Genesis 43

He grew up in a complicated family. He endured betrayal, hardship, injustice, and isolation. Yet in one of the Bible’s most dramatic reversals, Joseph rose to a place of power and authority, delivering God’s people and preserving the covenant family. In this series, we explore Genesis 37-50, following the story of God's providence in the life of a “beloved son" who prefigures a Greater Son to come.

In his radical grace, God takes Joseph's family from a place of famine to a bountiful feast. This story invites us to ask honest questions about ourselves, our motives and what we ultimately need and receive as we think about God's work of taking us from famine to feast.
