Ben Grisez - Genesis 44:1-34 Bound in Christ

Calvary Chapel Sydney

Synopsis: During his brother's second visit to Egypt, Joseph enacted his final test of his brothers by framing Benjamin for the theft of his silver cup. With care and compassion, Judah drew near to Joseph to plead for the freedom of Benjamin and asked to be made a slave in his place. Judah didn't realise the governor was for him, yet we draw near to God knowing He is for us because our lives are bound up in the life of Jesus.
