WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.360 So, the last time that we met, I think Sam was bringing us through chapter 42. 00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:15.200 So, to bring us up to speed, before we head into chapter 43, there's a famine over the whole land. 00:00:16.219 --> 00:00:20.100 And Jacob sends his sons down to Egypt to buy food. 00:00:20.740 --> 00:00:28.560 And what the brothers don't know is that when they arrive, Joseph has been made governor of Egypt. 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:33.179 He's in charge of distributing food to all the surrounding nations. 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:40.280 But the thing is, Joseph recognizes the brothers, but the brothers don't recognize Joseph. 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.939 They get their food and return home. 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:54.299 And on their way home, they stop and open up their sacks and discover that the silver they had used to buy the grain had been returned to them. 00:00:54.299 --> 00:01:00.459 But also, the food that they had got came at a price. 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:11.159 Joseph keeps one brother in prison, Simeon, and demands that if they come again, have a look in chapter 42, verse 34. 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:22.459 Joseph had said to them, you're to bring your youngest brother, that's Benjamin, to me, so that I will know that you are not spies, but honest men. 00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:27.759 Then I will give your brother back to you, and you can trade in the land. 00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:29.060 You can buy food. 00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:38.659 So it was crystal clear that if you come back again to Egypt, you're not going to get any food unless you bring Benjamin. 00:01:40.340 --> 00:01:43.280 And that brings us to chapter 43. 00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:47.359 Well, let's pray before we look at that together. 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:54.620 Father, your word is living. 00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:08.060 It is like a surgeon's scalpel that cuts right to the heart and exposes what our hearts are truly like. 00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:21.680 And so we come and ask that you would show us our need of you so that we may come to your throne of grace and mercy 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.599 and receive all that we need for our lives today. 00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:30.920 We ask this in Jesus' name. 00:02:31.780 --> 00:02:32.219 Amen. 00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:36.319 Thank you, Avian. 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:37.479 Just what I needed. 00:02:37.819 --> 00:02:38.379 Well done. 00:02:46.139 --> 00:02:46.900 Thank you. 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.699 Well, there's a crisis in Jacob's clan. 00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:55.979 The boys are getting hungry and their bellies are beginning to rumble. 00:02:56.079 --> 00:02:57.180 Have a look at verse 1. 00:02:57.180 --> 00:03:01.060 Now, the famine was still severe in the land. 00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:07.719 So when they had eaten all the grain they had bought from Egypt, their father said to them, 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.819 Go back and buy us some more food. 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.379 Well, that's easier said than done. 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:16.599 Look at verse 3. 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.039 Judah said to his father, 00:03:18.939 --> 00:03:19.800 Come on, Dad. 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.539 You know the answer to that. 00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:27.099 The man, speaking of Joseph, warmed us solemnly. 00:03:27.099 --> 00:03:32.039 You will not see my face again unless your brother Benjamin is with you. 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:39.879 If you will send our brother along with us, we will go down and buy food for you. 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:47.139 But if you will not send Benjamin, we will not go down because the man said to us, 00:03:47.859 --> 00:03:52.159 You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you. 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:56.079 Well, Jacob didn't trust his sons. 00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.699 In fact, he had made his feelings known after the last trip. 00:04:00.819 --> 00:04:03.079 Look at the last verse of chapter 42. 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:07.140 Jacob said, 00:04:07.219 --> 00:04:10.600 My son, Benjamin, will not go down there. 00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:14.760 Your brother, speaking of Joseph, is dead and he's the only one left. 00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:18.139 If harm comes to him on the journey you are taking, 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.400 you will bring my grey head down to the grave in sorrow. 00:04:23.259 --> 00:04:28.639 There was no way he was going to part with his younger son. 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:36.659 Well, once again, all these hidden hurts and these deep divisions that existed within the family 00:04:36.659 --> 00:04:39.039 bubbled to the surface. 00:04:39.579 --> 00:04:42.159 Look at chapter 43 and verse 6. 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.259 Israel, that's Jacob, asked, 00:04:45.819 --> 00:04:50.300 Why did you bring this trouble on me by telling the man you had another brother? 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:52.860 They replied, 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.139 The man questioned us closely about ourselves and our family. 00:04:57.139 --> 00:04:59.259 Is your father still living? 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:01.579 Do you have another brother? 00:05:02.479 --> 00:05:04.899 We just simply answered his questions. 00:05:05.419 --> 00:05:07.620 How were we to know he would say, 00:05:07.939 --> 00:05:09.659 Bring your brother down here. 00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:11.219 It's not our fault. 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.899 So Jacob's in a dilemma, isn't he? 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.300 If he doesn't send Benjamin, 00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:22.279 they're not going to get food and they're all going to die. 00:05:23.180 --> 00:05:25.899 But if he does send Benjamin to Egypt, 00:05:25.899 --> 00:05:28.539 he fears that Benjamin could die. 00:05:31.539 --> 00:05:34.560 Well, the brothers are worried about supplies. 00:05:35.359 --> 00:05:39.120 So Judah, one of the brothers, offers his father a deal. 00:05:39.719 --> 00:05:44.419 It's not really the sort of thing you do when you're in good relationship with one another. 00:05:44.939 --> 00:05:47.479 It just shows the breakdown that existed. 00:05:47.679 --> 00:05:48.199 Verse 8. 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.300 Then Judah said to his father, 00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:59.699 Send the boy along with me and we will go at once so that we and you and our children may live and not die. 00:05:59.699 --> 00:06:04.599 I myself will guarantee his safety. 00:06:05.659 --> 00:06:09.139 You can hold me personally responsible for him. 00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:14.240 If I do not bring him back to you and set him here before you, 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:19.199 I will bear the blame before you all my life. 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:26.519 As it is, if we had not delayed, we could have gone and returned twice. 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:32.519 Just hurry up, Dad, and make your decision before we all starve to death. 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:39.359 Now, while the brothers are prioritizing food for their bellies, 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:46.159 it seems that God is actually more concerned about the sin in their hearts. 00:06:47.159 --> 00:06:54.339 You see, 22 years have passed since the brothers had sold their brother, Joseph, into slavery. 00:06:54.339 --> 00:06:59.079 Remember, Joseph had been the special one, the favorite one. 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:05.219 And his father, Jacob, had bought him that designer jacket, the lovely bright colored one. 00:07:06.219 --> 00:07:11.519 So in envy and jealousy, they sold their brother as a slave. 00:07:12.419 --> 00:07:15.620 And to make matters worse, they covered it up. 00:07:16.419 --> 00:07:17.620 They killed a goat. 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.359 They put blood on the coat and bought it to their father, Jacob. 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:27.060 We found this father when we were out. 00:07:28.020 --> 00:07:30.699 Check and see if it's your son's coat. 00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:33.220 We don't know who it belongs to. 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:36.639 Well, Jacob fell for it. 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:39.960 It is my son's coat. 00:07:40.780 --> 00:07:43.520 Some ferocious animal has devoured him. 00:07:44.020 --> 00:07:47.620 Joseph has surely been torn to pieces, he said. 00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:53.540 Well, the brothers may have deceived their father all these years, 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:57.220 but nothing is hidden from God. 00:07:58.100 --> 00:08:02.040 You see, they may be prioritizing food for their bellies, 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.480 but God is more concerned about the sin in their hearts. 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:14.960 You see, the most important need for us is not physical, but spiritual. 00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:19.840 It's not about a good career, finding the right partner, 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.060 owning a house, retiring on a big pension. 00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:27.939 It's not about having a great ministry program in your church, 00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:30.640 the best music and wonderful sermons, 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.419 all of which we have here, of course. 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.960 All these things are good, but they're not God's priority. 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:44.699 What God desires is that we face our sin 00:08:44.699 --> 00:08:47.039 and deal with our sin. 00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:50.460 In this account of chapter 43, 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.939 we're going to see that God confronts sin, 00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.379 revealing our desperate need for mercy, 00:08:57.379 --> 00:09:02.159 and displays the grace and welcome 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:05.399 he gives to sinners like us. 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.279 God confronts sin, 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.860 revealing our desperate need for mercy, 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.059 and displays the grace and welcome 00:09:15.059 --> 00:09:18.659 he gives to sinners like us. 00:09:19.419 --> 00:09:24.340 So first, the mercy we desperately need. 00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:26.019 Look at verse 11. 00:09:27.379 --> 00:09:29.779 Then their father said to them, 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.879 If it must be, then do this. 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.860 Put some of the best products of the land in your bags 00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:40.080 and take them down to the man as a gift. 00:09:41.179 --> 00:09:43.379 Now remember what they bring, okay? 00:09:44.139 --> 00:09:46.799 A little balm and a little honey, 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:49.080 some spices and myrrh, 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:50.899 some pistachio nuts and almonds. 00:09:51.700 --> 00:09:54.259 Take double the amount of silver for you, 00:09:54.259 --> 00:09:58.720 for you must return the silver that was put back into the mouths of your sacks. 00:09:59.319 --> 00:10:00.980 Perhaps it was a mistake. 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.240 Take your brother also 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.399 and go back to the man at once. 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:16.840 Well, Jacob's request must have hit them like a ton of bricks. 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:21.720 Take spices and silver 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.419 and your brother 00:10:24.419 --> 00:10:27.419 and go to Egypt. 00:10:27.419 --> 00:10:35.360 Well, it's like their sin of the past is being replayed before their very eyes. 00:10:36.379 --> 00:10:39.019 Do you remember what happened to Joseph? 00:10:39.819 --> 00:10:41.860 Go back to chapter 37 00:10:41.860 --> 00:10:45.299 and see if you can spot some similarities. 00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:47.719 Chapter 37. 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:52.220 The scene here is the brothers have thrown Joseph down into an empty well 00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:55.259 and they're thinking of a way to get rid of him. 00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:58.340 We'll pick it up in verse 25. 00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:05.720 As they, the brothers, sat down to eat their meal, 00:11:05.860 --> 00:11:09.240 they looked up and saw a caravan or a convoy 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:12.240 of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:16.259 Their camels were loaded with spices 00:11:16.259 --> 00:11:17.879 and balm 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:19.200 and myrrh 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.100 and they were on their way down to 00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:23.120 Egypt. 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.320 Judah said to his brothers, 00:11:26.740 --> 00:11:28.840 What will we gain if we kill our brother 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:30.000 and cover his blood? 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.799 Come, let's sell him to the Ishmaelites 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:34.980 and not lay hands on him. 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.279 After all, he is our brother, 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:38.820 our own flesh and blood. 00:11:39.539 --> 00:11:40.600 His brothers agreed. 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.600 So when the merchants came by, 00:11:44.379 --> 00:11:47.259 his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the well 00:11:47.259 --> 00:11:51.460 and sold him for 20 shekels of silver 00:11:51.460 --> 00:11:56.700 to the Ishmaelites who took him to Egypt. 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:00.360 Let's go back to chapter 43. 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.259 You see, the scene is almost identical, isn't it? 00:12:06.139 --> 00:12:08.100 Their hidden past sins 00:12:08.100 --> 00:12:11.300 are now playing out before their very eyes. 00:12:11.300 --> 00:12:14.840 The brothers are packed up with spices 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.080 and silver 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:19.399 and their brother 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:23.080 and they're heading for Egypt. 00:12:24.560 --> 00:12:25.639 Coincidence? 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.060 I don't think so. 00:12:28.059 --> 00:12:32.739 God is taking them back to that terrible day 00:12:32.739 --> 00:12:35.079 when they sold Joseph. 00:12:35.579 --> 00:12:36.839 God is confronting 00:12:36.839 --> 00:12:40.000 their unconfessed sin. 00:12:42.699 --> 00:12:45.599 Well, of course, all of this is unknown to Jacob. 00:12:46.659 --> 00:12:47.619 But he does 00:12:47.619 --> 00:12:49.539 the only right thing. 00:12:50.359 --> 00:12:52.379 He gathers his sons together 00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:53.559 before they head off 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:55.699 and they have a quick prayer meeting. 00:12:55.839 --> 00:12:56.719 Verse 14. 00:12:57.199 --> 00:12:58.839 We're back in chapter 43. 00:13:01.959 --> 00:13:03.959 Let's pray, brothers. 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.979 May God Almighty grant you mercy before the man 00:13:08.979 --> 00:13:12.239 so that he will let your other brother 00:13:12.239 --> 00:13:14.179 and Benjamin come back with you. 00:13:14.179 --> 00:13:16.699 As for me, if I am bereaved, 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:18.399 I am bereaved. 00:13:19.699 --> 00:13:22.139 Now, this is no superstitious tradition, 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:23.739 a kind of quick prayer, 00:13:23.959 --> 00:13:25.259 a lucky charm. 00:13:26.339 --> 00:13:29.099 No, Jacob is crying out to 00:13:29.099 --> 00:13:30.899 God Almighty. 00:13:30.899 --> 00:13:33.279 This is how God 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:34.519 had introduced himself 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:35.220 to Jacob 00:13:35.220 --> 00:13:36.759 years before. 00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:39.139 I am the Almighty God. 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.919 I'm the Creator God, 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:43.220 the Sovereign God, 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:44.959 the God who has mercy 00:13:44.959 --> 00:13:46.019 on his people. 00:13:47.379 --> 00:13:49.120 So what Jacob is praying 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.419 is that God would deal 00:13:51.419 --> 00:13:52.959 with the sons 00:13:52.959 --> 00:13:54.240 in mercy. 00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:57.699 He wouldn't treat them 00:13:57.699 --> 00:13:59.079 as their sins deserve, 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.240 but that he would be kind 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:01.800 to them. 00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:04.280 Now, isn't that 00:14:04.280 --> 00:14:05.160 what the brothers 00:14:05.160 --> 00:14:06.280 really need? 00:14:07.040 --> 00:14:08.180 As they head off 00:14:08.180 --> 00:14:08.980 to Egypt 00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:10.500 with their spices 00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:11.379 and silver 00:14:11.379 --> 00:14:12.639 and their brother 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:13.720 remembering 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:15.440 their past sins? 00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:18.280 Well, they've also got 00:14:18.280 --> 00:14:19.500 their father's prayer 00:14:19.500 --> 00:14:20.980 ringing in their ears. 00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:22.740 God 00:14:22.740 --> 00:14:24.360 have mercy. 00:14:26.560 --> 00:14:27.940 You see, that's where 00:14:27.940 --> 00:14:29.360 we all need to start. 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:31.780 You see, maybe there's 00:14:31.780 --> 00:14:33.380 something in your past 00:14:33.380 --> 00:14:35.580 or my past 00:14:35.580

00:14:44.000 hoping that with the 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.160 passing of time 00:14:45.160 --> 00:14:47.240 it will just go away 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.560 and everybody 00:14:48.560 --> 00:14:49.680 will forget. 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:54.979 perhaps God 00:14:54.979 --> 00:14:56.479 is confronting us, 00:14:57.819 --> 00:14:58.559 reminding you 00:14:58.559 --> 00:14:59.519 of a
