00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.179
 The welfare of his family.

00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:04.240
 And we touched on this a little bit last week,

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:04.240


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.160
 it's really important.

00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:38.299
 Because Jacob is on the verge of not seeing grace.

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:41.140
 He is right there.

00:00:41.219 --> 00:00:43.140
 He's looking grace in the face.

00:00:44.259 --> 00:00:48.740
 And he is virtually pushing himself back from the table

00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:51.579
 and saying, I don't want to go there

00:00:51.579 --> 00:00:54.260
 because it's not worth the risk.

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:56.960
 It's not worth more fear.

00:00:57.100 --> 00:00:59.060
 It's not worth more sorrow.

00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:01.260
 It's not worth losing more children.

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.579
 And so we push back from the table of grace

00:01:04.579 --> 00:01:08.859
 and we decide that it's not worth the risk

00:01:08.859 --> 00:01:11.079
 for us to experience God's grace.

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:15.920
 Jacob is in bondage to sorrow and fear and grief.

00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:23.079
 But his sons, essentially Judah in particular,

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.000
 stands up and says, listen dad,

00:01:26.060 --> 00:01:28.240
 we're going to honor your request,

00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.619
 but let me tell you, if we don't go down,

00:01:31.059 --> 00:01:32.019
 we're all going to die.

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.379
 I mean, you might lose some of your kids,

00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:38.739
 but let me tell you, you're going to lose the whole family.

00:01:40.039 --> 00:01:43.579
 Children, grandchildren, wives, it's on you.

00:01:43.579 --> 00:01:47.060
 Is it worth that risk?

00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.640
 You're being a little irrational, dad.

00:01:51.019 --> 00:01:52.179
 You're not thinking this through.

00:01:54.179 --> 00:01:57.799
 And we find this little snippet at the end of verse 9,

00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.019
 excuse me, in verse 10, it says,

00:02:01.219 --> 00:02:06.200
 if we had not lingered, we would have returned this second time.

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.159
 That's what the New King James says.

00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.379
 It's kind of a translational issue.

00:02:10.979 --> 00:02:13.859
 It's either we would have returned this second time,

00:02:13.939 --> 00:02:17.139
 or as the ESV and NIV and several other translations put it,

00:02:17.379 --> 00:02:20.139
 it says we would have returned twice by now.

00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.120
 We could have gone there and back twice at this point.

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.219
 Probably about a two-month trek one direction.

00:02:30.580 --> 00:02:34.120
 So we're talking about four months to eight months

00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.640
 of just hanging on by a thread,

00:02:37.900 --> 00:02:39.060
 exhausting the supply.

00:02:39.539 --> 00:02:41.039
 That's how desperate things were.

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:45.740
 And that's how much Jacob was willing to push grace

00:02:45.740 --> 00:02:47.120
 out to the back burner,

00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:49.219
 to keep pushing it down the road.

00:02:50.259 --> 00:02:52.000
 There were barriers to grace in his life.

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.840
 Now when he finally decides to go,

00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.219
 now we find what I've titled here,

00:02:58.599 --> 00:02:59.780
 circumventing grace.

00:03:00.219 --> 00:03:03.900
 And what I mean by that is trying to get around grace,

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.860
 trying to overcome grace,

00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.900
 and what we're going to find is actually purchasing it.

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:14.039
 Let me read this, verses 11 to 14.

00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:15.379
 It says,

00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:16.259
 Then their father said,

00:03:16.939 --> 00:03:18.680
 If it must be so, then do this.

00:03:19.219 --> 00:03:20.960
 Take some of the choice fruits of the land

00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.580
 in your bags and carry a present down to the man.

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:25.560
 A little balm and a little honey,

00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:27.820
 gum, myrrh, pistachio nuts, and almonds.

00:03:28.460 --> 00:03:29.960
 Take double the money with you,

00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:31.500
 carry back with you the money

00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:33.420
 that was returned in the mouth of your sacks.

00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:35.080
 Perhaps it was an oversight.

00:03:35.780 --> 00:03:36.620
 Take also your brother,

00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.760
 and arise and go down to the man.

00:03:39.659 --> 00:03:42.420
 May God Almighty grant you mercy before the man,

00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.180
 and may he send back your brother and Benjamin.

00:03:46.180 --> 00:03:47.500
 And as for me,

00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.480
 if I am bereaved of my children,

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:50.140
 I'm bereaved.

00:03:52.540 --> 00:03:53.480
 Isn't it interesting,

00:03:53.620 --> 00:03:56.680
 when God finally gets us to the point of relenting,

00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.180
 we still have this sense

00:04:00.180 --> 00:04:03.960
 of trying to take the bull by the horns,

00:04:04.040 --> 00:04:05.020
 of trying to take the wheel,

00:04:05.140 --> 00:04:06.180
 of trying to take control,

00:04:06.819 --> 00:04:09.219
 and try to bring an outcome.

00:04:09.219 --> 00:04:12.319
 What are some ways that Jacob,

00:04:12.359 --> 00:04:13.740
 what is Jacob's strategy?

00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.240
 What is his thought?

00:04:16.339 --> 00:04:16.600
 Okay.

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:18.319
 I'll send you down,

00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.279
 but what's he gonna do?

00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:23.040
 What's that?

00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:27.019
 Okay.

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:29.160
 Right.

00:04:30.420 --> 00:04:31.079
 Yes, right.

00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:39.500
 That's good.

00:04:39.859 --> 00:04:40.399
 That's good.

00:04:40.779 --> 00:04:40.979
 Okay.

00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.779
 So bring some food with you,

00:04:43.500 --> 00:04:45.319
 and let's see if we can buy them off.

00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.019
 What are some things that he's gonna bring?

00:04:48.899 --> 00:04:52.500
 What are some of the items of this care package

00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:53.279
 he's sending down?

00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:57.639
 Okay.

00:04:57.939 --> 00:04:58.819
 Honey and nuts.

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:00.120
 Balm.

00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:01.240
 Mer.

00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:03.439
 Okay.

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:04.800
 So that's part of the present.

00:05:05.780 --> 00:05:07.340
 What else are they going?

00:05:07.420 --> 00:05:08.879
 Besides the gifts,

00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:11.199
 double the money,

00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:12.459
 and

00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:15.639
 we've talked about Benjamin already,

00:05:15.899 --> 00:05:16.560
 but send Benjamin.

00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:20.840
 Let's see if we can buy them off.

00:05:22.220 --> 00:05:22.540
 Now,

00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:25.639
 there are some problems with this.

00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.480
 I mean, from an external standpoint,

00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.720
 things are not good with Egypt.

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:33.720
 I mean,

00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:35.680
 as far as they're concerned,

00:05:35.860 --> 00:05:38.520
 they're not in a favorable light with people of Egypt,

00:05:38.640 --> 00:05:39.080
 and yet,

00:05:39.200 --> 00:05:41.020
 they think that somehow,

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:42.140
 this little,

00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:44.740
 meager gift,

00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:50.500
 is going to overcome the significant issues that they have with Joseph.

00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:52.740
 almost,

00:05:52.740 --> 00:05:55.019
 almost like a slap in the face,

00:05:55.019 --> 00:05:56.000
 I would think.

00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.579
 You think you can buy me out with pistachio nuts?

00:06:01.259 --> 00:06:02.100
 Are you serious?

00:06:02.100 --> 00:06:05.000
 You're not thinking this through.

00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:10.360
 A couple of summers ago,

00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:16.420
 our family had the opportunity to go down and to stay in a home in Destin, Florida.

00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:19.900
 And this was not just like any home.

00:06:20.020 --> 00:06:20.379
 It was,

00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:22.939
 it was in a million dollar gated community.

00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:29.220
 And the house that we were staying in was backed up to this elite golf course.

00:06:29.900 --> 00:06:34.240
 And it had a screened in pool that went to eight feet,

00:06:34.300 --> 00:06:35.100
 but started at zero.

00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:36.860
 It was like one of those zero depth pools.

00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:37.720
 There's no steps.

00:06:37.819 --> 00:06:41.340
 It was just kind of walk right in like you're walking into the beach.

00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:44.539
 The owner,

00:06:44.779 --> 00:06:48.279
 the owner does all the embroidery for Nike.

00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:50.759
 So that gives you a sense of the,

00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:52.899
 of the kind of place that we were staying in.

00:06:53.159 --> 00:06:54.839
 It was like walking into a museum.

00:06:55.819 --> 00:06:56.399
 There were,

00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.759
 there were trinkets and artifacts,

00:06:59.299 --> 00:06:59.899
 like,

00:07:00.379 --> 00:07:00.839
 everywhere.

00:07:01.859 --> 00:07:03.859
 And they had the price tag still on them.

00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:05.739
 And the cheapest ones were like $450.

00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:07.039
 And I'm thinking,

00:07:07.219 --> 00:07:08.159
 oh my goodness,

00:07:08.459 --> 00:07:09.139
 where's Timothy?

00:07:11.339 --> 00:07:12.679
 Hands off,

00:07:12.779 --> 00:07:12.979
 buddy.

00:07:13.359 --> 00:07:14.939
 Don't touch anything.

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:16.679
 Oh man.

00:07:17.119 --> 00:07:18.560
 And then they had these like,

00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.099
 like TV monitors,

00:07:21.819 --> 00:07:23.739
 like just kind of stacked up in,

00:07:23.739 --> 00:07:23.979
 in,

00:07:23.979 --> 00:07:25.560
 in rooms that they weren't using.

00:07:27.299 --> 00:07:30.179
 And it was an amazing,

00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:31.459
 amazing home.

00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:31.719
 The,

00:07:31.719 --> 00:07:35.779
 the master suite was bigger than our first home.

00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.219
 With a bedroom and the closet and the,

00:07:41.339 --> 00:07:42.459
 in the,

00:07:42.459 --> 00:07:43.139
 in the bathroom.

00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:45.699
 And I was thinking to myself,

00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:47.179
 okay,

00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:48.099
 at the end of this week,

00:07:48.659 --> 00:07:50.779
 what can we do to,

00:07:50.919 --> 00:07:52.199
 to say thanks?

00:07:55.599 --> 00:07:57.519
 How do you say thanks for that?

00:07:58.219 --> 00:07:58.859
 I mean,

00:07:59.019 --> 00:08:00.159
 let's be honest.

00:08:00.179 --> 00:08:02.479
 If I put a thousand dollars on the table,

00:08:02.699 --> 00:08:04.399
 it's just going to be a slap in the face.

00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:09.539
 That's kind of what we're talking about here.

00:08:10.459 --> 00:08:12.000
 We're talking about this,

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:13.560
 this,

00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.079
 need for desperate grace.

00:08:17.419 --> 00:08:19.159
 And Jacob is like,

00:08:19.419 --> 00:08:20.539
 totally irrational.

00:08:20.919 --> 00:08:25.319
 How in the world are you possibly going to pay off that debt with pistachio nuts?

00:08:26.259 --> 00:08:27.259
 Not going to happen.

00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:27.620
 But,

00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:30.459
 but Jacob finally,

00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.700
 finally comes to a bit of his senses in verse 14.

00:08:36.100 --> 00:08:37.539
 And this would be kind of the,

00:08:37.539 --> 00:08:38.039
 the,

00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:38.360
 the,

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.840
 the key verse in this first section.

00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:44.720
 May God almighty grant you mercy before the man.

00:08:47.299 --> 00:08:51.860
 There's a glimmer of light that kind of is beginning to shoot through to Jacob.

00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.279
 He's beginning to understand what's really at stake here.

00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:57.460
 He's not going to be able to,

00:08:57.460 --> 00:08:59.960
 to do nearly enough to,

00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.180
 to get the kind of response that he needs.

00:09:03.259 --> 00:09:05.240
 He needs mercy from God.

00:09:06.899 --> 00:09:08.379
 It's interesting in the Old Testament,

00:09:09.259 --> 00:09:12.759
 the word mercy is used 290 times.

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:17.100
 The word grace is only used 11 times.

00:09:18.259 --> 00:09:21.300
 And most of the time that is used in the Old Testament,

00:09:21.299 --> 00:09:25.079
 it's actually referring to favor and not to grace.

00:09:27.339 --> 00:09:30.699
 We actually happen to see one of those instances in our,

00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:34.359
 in this story that we're looking at.

00:09:34.859 --> 00:09:37.399
 One of the uses of grace in this story.

00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:39.500
 So,

00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:41.859
 there were some barriers to grace.

00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:43.719
 I wonder,

00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:47.579
 what stands as obstacles to grace in our lives?

00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:52.480
 What stands as obstacles to grace for us?

00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:53.360
 Of,

00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:54.060
 not only,

00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.100
 not being able to receive grace,

00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.580
 not being able to appreciate grace,

00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:01.639
 and not being able to give grace.

00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:04.480
 What are some of those things that stand in the way?

00:10:06.560 --> 00:10:07.639
 Pride stands in the way.

00:10:07.820 --> 00:10:08.139
 What do you mean?

00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:11.620
 I think I can do it myself.

00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:14.679
 That's good.

00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.120
 I can do it myself.

00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:18.480
 You see that in these,

00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:19.039
 in these,

00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:19.960
 this family?

00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.559
 I can do what it takes to get what I want.

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:25.179
 The,

00:10:25.179 --> 00:10:27.899
 the scheming and manipulation of this family.

00:10:28.299 --> 00:10:28.519
 Right?

00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:29.620
 That's good.

00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:30.039
 There's,

00:10:30.100 --> 00:10:30.659
 there's pride.

00:10:31.059 --> 00:10:31.980
 It takes place.

00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:33.200
 What else?

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:33.279
 What else?

00:10:36.179 --> 00:10:36.419
 Right.

00:10:36.179 --> 00:10:36.460
 Right.

00:10:36.460 --> 00:10:50.700
 That's good.

00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:51.360
 Did you hear that?

00:10:52.040 --> 00:10:53.820
 There are people in your life where,

00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:56.139
 every time you turn around,

00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.500
 there seems to be new need for grace.

00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:00.340
 I mean,

00:11:00.420 --> 00:11:02.100
 or at least a new need for forgiveness,

00:11:02.300 --> 00:11:03.000
 a new need for,

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.220
 for spending on that individual.

00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:08.780
 And,

00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:09.080
 um,

00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:09.820
 that,

00:11:09.900 --> 00:11:11.180
 that requires maybe a little,

00:11:11.800 --> 00:11:12.740
 little help on our side,

00:11:12.780 --> 00:11:13.120
 doesn't it?

00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:13.780
 God help me.

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.860
 Help me to be a person of grace.

00:11:17.800 --> 00:11:20.480
 It also requires maybe a little deeper conversation,

00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.019
 understanding of what grace looks like.

00:11:22.040 --> 00:11:22.800
 Because sometimes,

00:11:23.259 --> 00:11:24.759
 sometimes grace is,

00:11:25.220 --> 00:11:26.720
 I'm not going to enable you.

00:11:28.620 --> 00:11:29.060
 I,

00:11:29.060 --> 00:11:32.780
 I want you to learn what it means,

00:11:32.779 --> 00:11:34.139
 to do what it takes,

00:11:34.139 --> 00:11:36.039
 to trust God on your own.

00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.419
 I'm not just going to continue to,

00:11:39.419 --> 00:11:40.100
 to,

00:11:40.379 --> 00:11:40.559
 to,

00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:41.799
 this trend in your life.

00:11:41.860 --> 00:11:42.120
 And,

00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:43.100
 and that takes wisdom,

00:11:43.339 --> 00:11:43.860
 doesn't it?

00:11:44.199 --> 00:11:44.860
 Takes some wisdom.

00:11:48.459 --> 00:11:49.100
 I think,

00:11:49.199 --> 00:11:49.379
 uh,

00:11:49.379 --> 00:11:50.860
 if we were to look at Jacob's life,

00:11:50.959 --> 00:11:54.120
 we would see that sorrow and fear stood in his way.

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.600
 And I think there are times where,

00:11:56.839 --> 00:11:57.399
 we're,

00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:01.919
 we don't want to be hurt anymore.

00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:03.559
 Or,

00:12:03.740 --> 00:12:07.720
 we don't want to risk anymore.

00:12:08.539 --> 00:12:10.179
 So we run to comfort.

00:12:10.819 --> 00:12:10.959
 We,

00:12:11.019 --> 00:12:11.220
 we,

00:12:11.319 --> 00:12:15.079
 we run away from those things that are going to,

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:15.379
 to,

00:12:15.439 --> 00:12:17.079
 to put us out of,

00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:18.559
 outside of our comfort zone.

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:20.819
 We resist that at all costs.

00:12:21.779 --> 00:12:22.840
 And because of that,

00:12:23.379 --> 00:12:24.379
 I think we miss grace.

00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:27.319
 We miss God's grace for us.

00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:29.500
 We miss God's grace showing up,

00:12:30.019 --> 00:12:31.019
 for us.

00:12:31.899 --> 00:12:34.199
 And we miss the opportunity to convey grace to others.

00:12:37.779 --> 00:12:38.259
 So,

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.600
 the brothers show up in Egypt.

00:12:40.819 --> 00:12:42.480
 We find that in verses 15 to 23.

00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.620
 And we see the response of grace.

00:12:45.899 --> 00:12:46.639
 This is beautiful.

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:49.559
 In verse 15 is where it begins.

00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:50.120
 It says,

00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:51.740
 in verse 15,

00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:53.519
 so the men took the present,

00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.919
 and they took double the money with them,

00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:56.659
 and Benjamin,

00:12:56.659 --> 00:12:57.839
 and they arose,

00:12:57.980 --> 00:12:58.860
 and went down to Egypt,

00:12:58.939 --> 00:12:59.819
 and stood before Joseph.

00:13:00.719 --> 00:13:02.519
 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them,

00:13:02.579 --> 00:13:04.379
 he said to the steward of his house,

00:13:04.500 --> 00:13:05.719
 bring the men into the house,

00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:06.740
 and slaughter an animal,

00:13:07.059 --> 00:13:07.779
 and make ready,

00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.459
 for the men are to dine with me at noon.

00:13:11.620 --> 00:13:13.399
 The man did as Joseph told him,

00:13:13.439 --> 00:13:15.759
 and brought the men to Joseph's house.

00:13:16.439 --> 00:13:17.299
 And the men were afraid,

00:13:17.379 --> 00:13:19.459
 because they were brought to Joseph's house.

00:13:19.460 --> 00:13:20.000
 And they said,

00:13:20.139 --> 00:13:21.240
 is it because of the money,

00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:23.540
 which was replaced in our sacks the first time,

00:13:23.740 --> 00:13:25.000
 that we were brought in,

00:13:25.280 --> 00:13:26.540
 so that he may assault us,

00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:27.560
 and fall upon us,

00:13:27.680 --> 00:13:28.840
 to make us servants,

00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:29.879
 and to seize our donkeys?

00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:32.740
 So they went up to the steward of Joseph's house,

00:13:32.820 --> 00:13:34.660
 and spoke with him at the door of the house,

00:13:34.700 --> 00:13:34.920
 and said,

00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:35.560
 oh my lord,

00:13:35.660 --> 00:13:37.200
 we came down the first time,

00:13:37.259 --> 00:13:38.720
 and then we find their explanation.

00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:44.220
 There is a coming to grace.

00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:45.820
 There is a need for grace.

00:13:45.899 --> 00:13:47.899
 They recognize that they need grace.

00:13:50.300 --> 00:13:53.040
 And we don't see the pleading here.

00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:55.500
 We'll see the pleading a little later.

00:13:55.840 --> 00:14:00.040
 But when the wheels of grace begin to turn,

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:04.120
 and Joseph begins to put into motion

00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:07.500
 the grace that he's going to act towards his brothers,

00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:11.419
 now we move to this next element,

00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:13.379
 their suspicion of grace.

00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:14.759
 They're a little skeptical,

00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:16.980
 when grace is put into effect.

00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.019
 And what do you see here?

00:14:24.059 --> 00:14:26.220
 Describe for me what's going on in their minds.

00:14:27.179 --> 00:14:29.379
 They don't necessarily know what Joseph is doing.

00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:33.580
 All they know is they're being moved into his house,

00:14:34.460 --> 00:14:37.399
 and now there's some suspicions going on.

00:14:38.500 --> 00:14:41.480
 It says, particularly in verse 18,

00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:43.600
 what's taking place?

00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:46.200
 Okay.

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:47.639
 They're afraid about slavery.

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:50.200
 What's this guy going to do?

00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:52.720
 Okay.

00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:54.620
 Because of what they did to their brother.

00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:55.480
 Right?

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:56.460
 We'll get to that in a second.

00:14:56.460 --> 00:14:58.019
 They don't have a clear conscience.

00:14:58.460 --> 00:14:59.240
 They're not a clear conscience.

00:14:59.240 --> 00:14:59.879
 They don't have a clear conscience.

00:15:01.299 --> 00:15:02.059
 That's right.

00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:04.100
 There's no clear conscience,

00:15:04.259 --> 00:15:06.200
 and so what would they expect?

00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:07.660
 But judgment.

00:15:08.660 --> 00:15:09.259
 Good point.

00:15:09.780 --> 00:15:10.400
 Really good point.

00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:11.860
 Appreciate that.

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:14.399
 What else?

00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:19.519
 Yeah.

00:15:20.580 --> 00:15:21.399
 There's panic.

00:15:21.980 --> 00:15:23.080
 There's panic going on.

00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:25.840
 He's going to take our money.

00:15:25.980 --> 00:15:27.240
 He's going to take our donkeys.

00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:28.500
 He's going to make us slaves.

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:34.679
 And I don't know if you've had this experience,

00:15:35.059 --> 00:15:37.799
 but you pull your kids aside.

00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.259
 You know something's gone down,

00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:42.059
 and then all of a sudden,

00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:44.419
 they're just kind of overflowing with the story.

00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:46.980
 But you know,

00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:50.159
 hidden underneath the story is something.

00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.059
 There's a guilty conscience going on,

00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.200
 kind of like what you referred to, Tom.

00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:59.420
 And so they may be free in that specific situation,

00:15:59.560 --> 00:16:02.120
 but when it comes to a guilty conscience

00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:07.759
 and underlying layers of feeling worthy of what's taking place,

00:16:08.660 --> 00:16:11.480
 it just seems to be this extra overflow

00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.160
 of explaining the situation.

00:16:16.620 --> 00:16:18.440
 I think that's what we find with these men.

00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:20.600
 They assume the worst.

00:16:22.040 --> 00:16:24.940
 They expect Joseph to act just like them.

00:16:26.460 --> 00:16:29.780
 I like how one commentator puts it.

00:16:30.160 --> 00:16:30.600
 They say,

00:16:31.680 --> 00:16:34.120
 what you spot is what you got.

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:36.120
 You get that?

00:16:36.940 --> 00:16:39.740
 What you spot is what you got,

00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.780
 meaning the things that you notice in other people,

00:16:43.420 --> 00:16:45.380
 the things that really drive you crazy,

00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:49.779
 are oftentimes the things that you expect or see in your own heart.

00:16:51.059 --> 00:16:52.860
 Like, it's kind of like,

00:16:53.820 --> 00:16:56.639
 you always assume the worst in people,

00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:59.919
 but you're assuming the things that you know to be true about yourself.

00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:01.259
 You know what I'm saying?

00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:06.319
 Like, if you're really frustrated about somebody

00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:11.160
 who just keeps talking trash about you,

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.900
 but you kind of know that's what you're kind of programmed to do,

00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:18.160
 that's what you assume,

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.380
 and you kind of place that on them

00:17:20.380 --> 00:17:22.880
 because you assume them to act like you.

00:17:24.600 --> 00:17:25.480
 Make sense?

00:17:27.540 --> 00:17:33.660
 And so these men recognize that,

00:17:34.320 --> 00:17:36.860
 or at least they have jumped to a conclusion about Joseph.

00:17:36.859 --> 00:17:39.319
 They're assuming that he's going to act

00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:41.559
 in the way that they've always acted in their entire life.

00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:46.219
 Why shouldn't he do what has been so common to them?

00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:51.079
 Commentator says this,

00:17:51.159 --> 00:17:53.519
 whatever you criticize most harshly in others,

00:17:54.139 --> 00:17:55.959
 may it be a hallmark of your own psyche.

00:17:57.379 --> 00:18:00.000
 Everyone makes comments about other people from time to time,

00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.500
 but those who focus on one topic continually,

00:18:03.939 --> 00:18:05.939
 irrationally, and inexplicably,

00:18:05.940 --> 00:18:08.039
 are often describing themselves.

00:18:09.320 --> 00:18:11.840
 When someone seems unduly preoccupied

00:18:11.840 --> 00:18:13.320
 with certain flaws in others,

00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:14.980
 it's time to do a once-over

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:16.759
 to see if it's taking root

00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:18.500
 in Mr. or Mrs. Obsessed.

00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:21.539
 Now, that should remind us of

00:18:21.539 --> 00:18:23.779
 what we know in Christ's words

00:18:23.779 --> 00:18:26.420
 in the New Testament,

00:18:26.539 --> 00:18:27.680
 especially the Sermon on the Mount,

00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.779
 when he's talking about the need for us,

00:18:31.900 --> 00:18:32.240
 he says,

00:18:32.460 --> 00:18:35.000
 why do you see the speck in your brother's eye?

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.920
 And there's a big plank

00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:39.539
 kind of jutting out of your own?

00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:43.240
 Jesus understands this.

00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:46.460
 He recognizes that oftentimes

00:18:46.460 --> 00:18:48.980
 the reason why we have

00:18:48.980 --> 00:18:53.000
 an inclination to suspect things of others

00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:53.960
 or see things in others

00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:56.500
 is because we know them to be true of ourselves.

00:18:56.500 --> 00:19:02.720
 That's why Paul in Galatians says,

00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.220
 brothers, if someone's caught in a transgression,

00:19:05.740 --> 00:19:06.660
 you who are spiritual,

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:08.299
 restore him in a spirit of gentleness.

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:10.039
 Keep watch on yourself,

00:19:10.140 --> 00:19:11.039
 lest you too be tempted.

00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:14.339
 That's the warning.

00:19:14.339 --> 00:19:20.579
 But we see that they are recipients of grace.

00:19:21.379 --> 00:19:22.919
 From verses 19 to 23,

00:19:23.419 --> 00:19:25.480
 they jump to a conclusion,

00:19:26.059 --> 00:19:28.559
 they explain their story,

00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:30.459
 they try to demonstrate

00:19:30.459 --> 00:19:32.279
 that they're free of guilt.

00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:36.039
 And what would you expect a Gentile,

00:19:36.139 --> 00:19:37.679
 how would you expect a Gentile,

00:19:38.919 --> 00:19:40.459
 somebody who doesn't know God,

00:19:40.460 --> 00:19:41.360
 to respond?

00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:44.279
 Verses 20 and 21,

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:44.640
 it says,

00:19:44.740 --> 00:19:46.420
 we came down to buy some food,

00:19:46.860 --> 00:19:48.779
 we came to our lodging place,

00:19:48.840 --> 00:19:49.620
 we opened our sacks,

00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:50.880
 there was each man's money

00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:51.779
 in the mouth of his sack,

00:19:51.900 --> 00:19:53.340
 so we've brought it again,

00:19:53.539 --> 00:19:54.600
 we don't know who put the money

00:19:54.600 --> 00:19:55.079
 in our sacks,

00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:55.720
 here it is.

00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:58.259
 What would you expect?

00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.120
 A normal unbeliever to respond.

00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:03.519
 How would they respond?

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.539
 Yeah, it's mine.

00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:09.660
 Some bribery going on,

00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:10.539
 some kickback.

00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:14.539
 That's a really good thought.

00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:15.980
 What else?

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.400
 Okay.

00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:23.660
 That's right.

00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:25.480
 You are really just guilty.

00:20:26.420 --> 00:20:28.460
 You're really just trying to cover up

00:20:28.460 --> 00:20:30.160
 for a guilty conscience,

00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:31.559
 and now you're found.

00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:33.460
 That'd be one way.

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:34.720
 To respond.

00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:39.359
 Maybe,

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:40.879
 what is your problem?

00:20:42.220 --> 00:20:43.700
 What is your problem?

00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:46.180
 What is going on?

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.019
 Get out of here.

00:20:48.859 --> 00:20:49.500
 You took the money,

00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:50.819
 nothing for you.

00:20:51.339 --> 00:20:51.740
 Go home.

00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:53.599
 It's over.

00:20:54.879 --> 00:20:56.359
 But notice verse 23.

00:20:57.099 --> 00:20:58.579
 This would be kind of our key verse

00:20:58.579 --> 00:20:59.619
 in this second section.

00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:02.559
 Verse 23 says,

00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:03.799
 He replied,

00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:05.539
 Peace to you.

00:21:06.159 --> 00:21:07.599
 Do not be afraid.

00:21:08.399 --> 00:21:08.980
 Your God,

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:10.159
 and the God of your father,

00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:12.440
 has put treasure in your sacks for you.

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:14.099
 I received your money.

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:18.339
 What stands out?

00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:20.099
 What stands out about that?

00:21:23.939 --> 00:21:24.939
 Isn't that interesting?

00:21:26.939 --> 00:21:28.379
 This Gentile,

00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:30.759
 who should be the furthest away from God,

00:21:30.819 --> 00:21:32.719
 is the one calling their attention

00:21:32.719 --> 00:21:33.859
 to their God.

00:21:33.859 --> 00:21:35.919
 How do you suppose that happened?

00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:39.359
 There's only really one explanation, right?

00:21:40.500 --> 00:21:40.979
 Joseph.

00:21:43.459 --> 00:21:44.819
 What else stands out to you?

00:21:44.819 --> 00:21:49.519
 How about that opening phrase?

00:21:53.220 --> 00:21:54.500
 Shalom Lekem.

00:21:55.859 --> 00:21:57.220
 Peace to you.

00:21:57.740 --> 00:21:58.500
 And why is that important?

00:21:58.500 --> 00:22:01.799
 Have we heard those words before?

00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.019
 We have, haven't we?

00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:05.099
 I mean,

00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:08.119
 we've heard the anti-peace

00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:09.539
 coming from these brothers,

00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:10.859
 who says,

00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:11.920
 They hated their brother

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.539
 and could not speak shalom to him.

00:22:17.579 --> 00:22:17.980
 And yet,

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:18.920
 what's coming back?

00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:20.119
 Peace.

00:22:21.099 --> 00:22:22.660
 No peace going out.

00:22:23.059 --> 00:22:23.920
 Peace coming back.

00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:35.660
 Chill out, man.

00:22:36.560 --> 00:22:37.500
 Peace to you.

00:22:38.120 --> 00:22:39.800
 Who do you serve after all?

00:22:40.380 --> 00:22:41.500
 Who is your God?

00:22:42.060 --> 00:22:42.279
 Right?

00:22:43.180 --> 00:22:44.920
 Talk about a wake-up call

00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:46.120
 from a Gentile.

00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:52.720
 Undoubtedly.

00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:54.519
 Undoubtedly.

00:22:55.460 --> 00:22:56.480
 Because were those not

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:57.800
 the first words

00:22:57.800 --> 00:22:59.440
 of Joseph to Pharaoh?

00:23:00.580 --> 00:23:01.940
 I can't do it.

00:23:02.900 --> 00:23:04.080
 But God will give you an answer.

00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:05.539
 He will give you

00:23:05.539 --> 00:23:07.620
 an answer of shalom.

00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:09.400
 That's what it says.

00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:10.820
 He'll give you

00:23:10.820 --> 00:23:11.920
 an answer of peace.

00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:16.620
 This servant

00:23:16.620 --> 00:23:18.860
 was able to distribute

00:23:18.860 --> 00:23:20.940
 grace and peace

00:23:20.940 --> 00:23:22.519
 because he

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:23.500
 had been

00:23:23.500 --> 00:23:24.519
 a recipient

00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:25.180
 of peace

00:23:25.180 --> 00:23:25.720
 and grace

00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:26.299
 from Joseph.

00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:30.240
 Peace had remained

00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:31.140
 on Joseph's heart

00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:32.580
 and peace

00:23:32.580 --> 00:23:33.220
 was conveyed

00:23:33.220 --> 00:23:34.000
 to everyone

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:35.900
 in Joseph's circles.

00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:38.200
 They were recipients

00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:38.980
 of peace

00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:40.340
 and because they were

00:23:40.340 --> 00:23:41.580
 kind of steeped

00:23:41.580 --> 00:23:42.240
 in peace,

00:23:42.600 --> 00:23:43.640
 they had the savor

00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:44.400
 of peace

00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:45.100
 on them

00:23:45.100 --> 00:23:45.820
 and so what do you

00:23:45.820 --> 00:23:46.360
 suppose

00:23:46.360 --> 00:23:47.259
 they gave?

00:23:47.259 --> 00:23:49.079
 They gave peace.

00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:55.119
 I love it

00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:55.940
 because it sounds

00:23:55.940 --> 00:23:56.599
 so familiar.

00:23:58.019 --> 00:23:58.980
 The words

00:23:58.980 --> 00:23:59.980
 it's not me

00:23:59.980 --> 00:24:00.740
 echo back

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:01.720
 through this phrase.

00:24:02.859 --> 00:24:03.440
 It's not me.

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.119
 It's God.

00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:05.900
 God did this for you.

00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:07.140
 When are you

00:24:07.140 --> 00:24:07.920
 going to see it?

00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:09.200
 When are you

00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:10.059
 going to wake up?

00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:10.980
 When will you

00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:12.379
 finally realize

00:24:12.379 --> 00:24:13.519
 that your God

00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:14.819
 and the God

00:24:14.819 --> 00:24:15.500
 of your father

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:16.039
 is behind

00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:16.940
 all these things?

00:24:18.420 --> 00:24:18.839
 When will you

00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:19.220
 get it,

00:24:19.299 --> 00:24:19.619
 guys?

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:23.139
 Recount the grace

00:24:23.139 --> 00:24:26.079
 Simeon is brought

00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:26.379
 out.

00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:28.000
 We find here

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:28.539
 in these next

00:24:28.539 --> 00:24:29.259
 several verses

00:24:29.259 --> 00:24:30.500
 beginning at

00:24:30.500 --> 00:24:31.519
 the end

00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:32.339
 of verse 23

00:24:32.339 --> 00:24:32.660
 it says,

00:24:32.660 --> 00:24:33.400
 then he brought

00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:34.460
 Simeon out to them

00:24:34.460 --> 00:24:35.740
 and when the man

00:24:35.740 --> 00:24:36.579
 had brought them

00:24:36.579 --> 00:24:37.799
 into Joseph's house

00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:38.500
 and had given them

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:38.839
 water

00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:40.240
 and he had washed

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:40.819
 their feet

00:24:40.819 --> 00:24:41.579
 and when he had

00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:42.639
 given their donkeys

00:24:42.639 --> 00:24:43.019
 fodder,

00:24:43.019 --> 00:24:43.639
 they prepared

00:24:43.639 --> 00:24:44.660
 the present

00:24:44.660 --> 00:24:45.480
 for Joseph's

00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:46.259
 coming at noon

00:24:46.259 --> 00:24:47.799
 for they hear

00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:48.680
 that Joseph

00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:49.339
 should eat bread

00:24:49.339 --> 00:24:49.599
 there.

00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:51.779
 Amazing

00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:53.200
 grace.

00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:56.460
 Words of peace

00:24:56.460 --> 00:24:58.619
 Simeon is brought

00:24:58.619 --> 00:24:59.460
 there's a reunion

00:24:59.460 --> 00:25:00.379
 taking place

00:25:00.379 --> 00:25:01.839
 there's water

00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:02.379
 for their feet

00:25:02.379 --> 00:25:03.500
 ministering to even

00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:04.779
 the earthy

00:25:04.779 --> 00:25:05.579
 things of their

00:25:05.579 --> 00:25:06.039
 needs

00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:09.200
 food given

00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:09.900
 to their donkeys

00:25:09.900 --> 00:25:10.639
 and now

00:25:10.639 --> 00:25:11.119
 they're waiting

00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:11.519
 for food

00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:12.079
 for themselves.

00:25:13.019 --> 00:25:13.579
 This

00:25:13.579 --> 00:25:15.160
 extravagant

00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:15.779
 grace.

00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:17.879
 So what's the results?

00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:18.819
 What does grace do?

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:19.400
 How does it

00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:21.000
 play out?

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:22.519
 In verses 26

00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:23.480
 to 34

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:25.139
 kind of show us

00:25:25.139 --> 00:25:26.019
 how grace

00:25:26.019 --> 00:25:26.900
 plays out

00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:27.879
 and we see

00:25:27.879 --> 00:25:29.099
 Joseph's initial

00:25:29.099 --> 00:25:30.440
 message of grace

00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:32.480
 in verse 26

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:32.879
 it says

00:25:32.879 --> 00:25:33.639
 they brought

00:25:33.639 --> 00:25:35.400
 excuse me

00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:37.420
 when Joseph

00:25:37.420 --> 00:25:38.060
 came home

00:25:38.060 --> 00:25:38.540
 they brought

00:25:38.540 --> 00:25:39.220
 into the house

00:25:39.220 --> 00:25:39.700
 to him

00:25:39.700 --> 00:25:40.320
 the present

00:25:40.320 --> 00:25:40.940
 that they had

00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:41.320
 with them

00:25:41.320 --> 00:25:42.900
 and they bowed

00:25:42.900 --> 00:25:43.880
 down to the ground

00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:45.660
 and he inquired

00:25:45.660 --> 00:25:46.380
 about their welfare

00:25:46.380 --> 00:25:46.900
 and said

00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:47.519
 is your father

00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:47.780
 well

00:25:47.780 --> 00:25:48.920
 and the old man

00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:50.040
 of whom you spoke

00:25:50.040 --> 00:25:51.220
 is he still alive?

00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:52.540
 They said

00:25:52.540 --> 00:25:52.960
 your servant

00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:53.320
 or father

00:25:53.320 --> 00:25:53.780
 is well

00:25:53.780 --> 00:25:54.840
 he is still alive

00:25:54.840 --> 00:25:55.860
 and they bowed

00:25:55.860 --> 00:25:56.400
 their heads

00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:57.500
 and prostrated

00:25:57.500 --> 00:25:58.000
 themselves

00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:59.559
 and he lifted

00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:00.259
 up his eyes

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:00.619
 and saw

00:26:00.619 --> 00:26:01.019
 his brother

00:26:01.019 --> 00:26:01.500
 Benjamin

00:26:01.500 --> 00:26:02.859
 his mother's

00:26:02.859 --> 00:26:03.180
 son

00:26:03.180 --> 00:26:04.140
 and said

00:26:04.140 --> 00:26:05.259
 is this

00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:05.940
 your youngest

00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:06.420
 brother

00:26:06.420 --> 00:26:07.519
 of whom

00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:08.059
 you spoke

00:26:08.059 --> 00:26:08.500
 to me

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:09.420
 God

00:26:09.420 --> 00:26:10.059
 be gracious

00:26:10.059 --> 00:26:10.559
 to you

00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:11.180
 my son

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:13.000
 then Joseph

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:13.579
 hurried out

00:26:13.579 --> 00:26:13.960
 for his

00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:14.559
 compassion

00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:15.220
 grew warm

00:26:15.220 --> 00:26:15.819
 for his

00:26:15.819 --> 00:26:16.059
 brother

00:26:16.059 --> 00:26:16.599
 and he sought

00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:17.079
 a place

00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:17.720
 to weep

00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:18.759
 and he entered

00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:19.339
 his chamber

00:26:19.339 --> 00:26:19.900
 and wept

00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:20.420
 there

00:26:20.420 --> 00:26:23.839
 this message

00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:24.299
 of grace

00:26:24.299 --> 00:26:24.759
 this would be

00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:25.079
 kind of

00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:25.299
 the

00:26:25.299 --> 00:26:26.920
 the third

00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:28.140
 kind of

00:26:28.140 --> 00:26:28.920
 significant

00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:29.300
 verse

00:26:29.300 --> 00:26:29.900
 verse 29

00:26:29.900 --> 00:26:31.220
 this is

00:26:31.220 --> 00:26:32.960
 Joseph's

00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:33.759
 conference

00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:34.480
 of grace

00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:34.779
 or

00:26:34.779 --> 00:26:35.820
 or his

00:26:35.820 --> 00:26:36.740
 request

00:26:36.740 --> 00:26:38.100
 of grace

00:26:38.100 --> 00:26:38.660
 to his brother

00:26:38.660 --> 00:26:39.039
 God

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:39.580
 be gracious

00:26:39.580 --> 00:26:39.900
 to you

00:26:39.900 --> 00:26:40.279
 my son

00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:43.080
 when

00:26:43.080 --> 00:26:43.640
 grace

00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:44.240
 settles

00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:44.759
 on a heart

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:47.060
 when we're

00:26:47.060 --> 00:26:47.440
 talking about

00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:48.120
 results of

00:26:48.120 --> 00:26:48.440
 grace

00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:49.440
 when grace

00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:49.880
 settles

00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:50.460
 on a heart

00:26:50.460 --> 00:26:50.940
 what does

00:26:50.940 --> 00:26:51.420
 grace

00:26:51.420 --> 00:26:51.980
 produce

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.920
 in the

00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:53.279
 person

00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:53.720
 who gives

00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:54.120
 grace

00:26:54.120 --> 00:26:55.019
 what did

00:26:55.019 --> 00:26:55.500
 it produce

00:26:55.500 --> 00:26:56.100
 for Joseph

00:26:56.099 --> 00:26:58.619
 what did

00:26:58.619 --> 00:26:58.779
 it do

00:26:58.779 --> 00:26:59.219
 for him

00:26:59.219 --> 00:27:01.159
 he was

00:27:01.159 --> 00:27:01.740
 overwhelmed

00:27:01.740 --> 00:27:02.319
 and what

00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:02.539
 was he

00:27:02.539 --> 00:27:02.839
 overwhelmed

00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:03.139
 by

00:27:03.139 --> 00:27:11.359
 okay

00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.159
 yeah

00:27:14.159 --> 00:27:15.219
 he's seeing

00:27:15.219 --> 00:27:15.679
 God at work

00:27:15.679 --> 00:27:16.079
 isn't he

00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:17.259
 and just

00:27:17.259 --> 00:27:17.759
 makes him

00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:19.039
 overjoyed

00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:20.799
 why else

00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:21.339
 what else

00:27:21.339 --> 00:27:21.699
 has it done

00:27:21.699 --> 00:27:22.059
 for him

00:27:22.059 --> 00:27:26.539
 that's

00:27:26.539 --> 00:27:26.859
 great

00:27:26.859 --> 00:27:28.220
 that's

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:28.500
 great

00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:29.139
 seeking

00:27:29.139 --> 00:27:29.700
 the best

00:27:29.700 --> 00:27:30.139
 now

00:27:30.139 --> 00:27:31.200
 let me tell

00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:31.319
 you

00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:31.819
 if any

00:27:31.819 --> 00:27:32.200
 of us

00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:32.460
 had been

00:27:32.460 --> 00:27:32.700
 in this

00:27:32.700 --> 00:27:33.240
 situation

00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:33.700
 what would

00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:34.279
 be our

00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:35.119
 what would

00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:35.379
 be our

00:27:35.379 --> 00:27:36.240
 gut reaction

00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:36.579
 here

00:27:36.579 --> 00:27:39.659
 not to be

00:27:39.659 --> 00:27:40.200
 overcome

00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:41.299
 with compassion

00:27:41.299 --> 00:27:42.679
 but to

00:27:42.679 --> 00:27:43.339
 stick it

00:27:43.339 --> 00:27:43.700
 to these

00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:44.099
 guys

00:27:44.099 --> 00:27:46.720
 grace

00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:47.079
 had

00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:47.940
 preserved

00:27:47.940 --> 00:27:49.220
 Joseph's

00:27:49.220 --> 00:27:49.500
 heart

00:27:49.500 --> 00:27:50.400
 from being

00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:51.180
 embittered

00:27:51.180 --> 00:27:52.720
 his

00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:53.380
 desire

00:27:53.380 --> 00:27:54.299
 to be

00:27:54.299 --> 00:27:54.720
 gracious

00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:55.599
 and to

00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:55.819
 give

00:27:55.819 --> 00:27:56.279
 grace

00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:57.180
 had

00:27:57.180 --> 00:27:57.579
 guarded

00:27:57.579 --> 00:27:57.920
 him

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.519
 had

00:27:58.519 --> 00:27:58.680
 been

00:27:58.680 --> 00:27:58.880
 an

00:27:58.880 --> 00:27:59.380
 arsenal

00:27:59.380 --> 00:27:59.980
 around

00:27:59.980 --> 00:28:00.279
 his

00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:00.579
 heart

00:28:00.579 --> 00:28:01.220
 protecting

00:28:01.220 --> 00:28:01.599
 him

00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:02.099
 from

00:28:02.099 --> 00:28:02.480
 bitterness

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:03.759
 keeping

00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:04.079
 him

00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:04.380
 from

00:28:04.380 --> 00:28:05.359
 a

00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:06.240
 wrong

00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:06.759
 reaction

00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:07.099
 to his

00:28:07.099 --> 00:28:07.440
 brothers

00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:08.980
 anything

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:09.180
 else

00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:09.619
 stand out

00:28:09.619 --> 00:28:12.519
 yes

00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:17.859
 good

00:28:17.859 --> 00:28:18.680
 that's

00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:18.920
 good

00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:19.799
 he was

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.180
 looking

00:28:20.180 --> 00:28:20.440
 for

00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:20.700
 God

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:22.220
 so

00:28:22.220 --> 00:28:23.460
 when

00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:23.900
 grace

00:28:23.900 --> 00:28:24.359
 is on

00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:24.519
 a

00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:24.839
 heart

00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:25.079
 it

00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:25.539
 actually

00:28:25.539 --> 00:28:26.019
 not

00:28:26.019 --> 00:28:26.319
 only

00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:27.279
 desires

00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:27.519
 the

00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:27.740
 best

00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:27.879
 but

00:28:27.879 --> 00:28:28.240
 it's

00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:28.660
 waiting

00:28:28.660 --> 00:28:28.960
 for

00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:29.319
 God

00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:29.539
 to

00:28:29.539 --> 00:28:29.819
 do

00:28:29.819 --> 00:28:30.059
 it

00:28:30.059 --> 00:28:31.019
 there's

00:28:31.019 --> 00:28:31.799
 expectancy

00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:33.099
 God

00:28:33.099 --> 00:28:33.279
 is

00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:33.519
 going to

00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:33.779
 show

00:28:33.779 --> 00:28:34.019
 up

00:28:34.019 --> 00:28:34.220
 here

00:28:34.220 --> 00:28:34.639
 somehow

00:28:34.639 --> 00:28:35.319
 and

00:34:00.500 --> 00:34:00.840

00:34:00.840 --> 00:34:03.200

00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:04.779
 if you have

 talk

00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:11.000
 about

00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:11.139
 it

00:34:11.139 --> 00:34:11.360
 okay

00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:12.260
 you can

00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:16.059
 more

00:34:16.059 --> 00:34:16.900
 it says

00:34:16.900 --> 00:34:17.199
 and the

00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:17.860
 child grew

00:34:17.860 --> 00:34:18.420
 and became

00:34:18.420 --> 00:34:19.039
 strong

00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:23.639
 him

00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:24.760

00:34:41.320 --> 00:34:41.800
 purpose

00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:43.199
 okay

00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:43.719
 it's not

00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:44.179
 just something

00:34:44.179 --> 00:34:44.500
 that God

00:34:44.500 --> 00:34:45.159
 does for

00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:45.440
 us

00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:45.860
 it's

00:34:47.059 --> 00:34:48.159

00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:48.460
 so that

00:34:48.460 --> 00:34:48.759
 it can

00:34:48.759 --> 00:34:49.159
 flow

00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:49.840
 from

00:34:54.739 --> 00:34:55.139
 14

00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:55.800
 it says

00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:56.259
 that Jesus

00:34:56.259 --> 00:34:57.019
 is full

00:34:57.019 --> 00:34:58.079
 of grace

00:34:58.079 --> 00:34:58.779

00:35:00.340 --> 00:35:01.000
 more

00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:02.179
 than just

00:35:02.179 --> 00:35:03.039
 the favor

00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:03.420
 of God

00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:03.659
 in his

00:35:03.659 --> 00:35:04.139
 life

00:35:04.139 --> 00:35:05.179
 to be

00:35:05.179 --> 00:35:05.579

 something

00:35:06.139 --> 00:35:06.599
 means

00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:06.920
 that it

00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:07.380
 that it

00:35:07.380 --> 00:35:07.659
 serves

00:35:07.659 --> 00:35:07.840
 a

00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:08.300
 purpose

00:35:08.300 --> 00:35:10.840
 and so

00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:11.099
 then we

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:11.500
 come to

00:35:11.500 --> 00:35:11.860
 places

00:35:11.860 --> 00:35:12.460
 like Acts

00:35:12.460 --> 00:35:13.099

 one heart

00:35:23.619 --> 00:35:24.179
 and soul

00:35:24.179 --> 00:35:25.159
 and no

 one said

00:35:25.659 --> 00:35:26.079

00:35:26.579 --> 00:35:26.699
 that

00:35:26.699 --> 00:35:27.019
 belonged

00:35:27.019 --> 00:35:27.480
 to him

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:28.139
 was his

00:35:28.139 --> 00:35:28.420
 own

00:35:28.420 --> 00:35:29.500
 but they

00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:30.059
 had everything

00:35:30.059 --> 00:35:30.619
 in common

00:35:30.619 --> 00:35:32.039
 and then

 verse 33

00:36:36.259 --> 00:36:36.920
 in change

00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:37.780

00:36:37.780 --> 00:36:38.300
 marks a

00:36:38.300 --> 00:36:38.719
 life as

00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:39.239
 being wholly

00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:39.619
 different

00:36:39.619 --> 00:36:39.980
 than it

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:40.599
 was before

00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:44.239

00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:45.420
 and he

00:36:45.420 --> 00:36:45.940

00:36:45.940 --> 00:36:46.480
 them all

00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:46.920
 that with

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:47.440
 one purpose

00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:47.800
 in heart

00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:48.079
 they should

00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:48.440
 continue

00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:48.699
 with the

00:36:48.699 --> 00:36:48.900
 Lord

00:36:48.900 --> 00:36:51.239
 speaking of

00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:51.619
 the apostle

00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:53.460
 it says

00:36:53.460 --> 00:36:53.739
 therefore

00:36:53.739 --> 00:36:54.239
 they stayed

00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:54.619
 there a

00:36:54.619 --> 00:36:55.119
 long time

 boldly

00:36:56.380 --> 00:36:56.699
 in the

00:36:56.699 --> 00:36:57.059
 Lord

00:36:57.059 --> 00:36:58.039

00:36:59.739 --> 00:37:00.159
 grace

00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:00.860
 how

00:37:00.860 --> 00:37:01.019
 was

00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:01.139
 he

00:37:01.139 --> 00:37:01.340
 bearing

00:37:06.460 --> 00:37:06.719
 hand

00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:11.539
 and then

00:37:11.539 --> 00:37:11.860
 for sake

00:37:11.860 --> 00:37:12.219
 of time

00:37:12.219 --> 00:37:15.079
 maybe one

00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:15.319

00:37:15.319 --> 00:37:15.920
 hallmarks

00:37:22.660 --> 00:37:23.280
 situation

00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:23.700
 is when

00:37:23.700 --> 00:37:24.140
 the apostle

00:37:24.140 --> 00:37:24.600
 Paul

00:37:29.160 --> 00:37:30.220
 asks God

00:37:30.220 --> 00:37:30.780
 to take away

00:37:30.780 --> 00:37:31.240
 this thorn

00:37:31.240 --> 00:37:31.800
 in the flesh

00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:32.900
 and Jesus

00:37:32.900 --> 00:37:33.620
 says no

00:37:33.620 --> 00:37:34.880
 and he says

00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:35.220
 what does he

00:37:35.220 --> 00:37:35.500
 say

00:37:35.500 --> 00:37:37.680
 my grace

00:37:37.680 --> 00:37:38.840
 is sufficient

00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:39.380
 for you

00:37:39.380 --> 00:37:41.080
 what is that

 supposed to

00:37:41.620 --> 00:37:41.840
 mean

00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:43.600
 well it

00:37:43.600 --> 00:37:44.460
 goes on

 for my

00:37:46.220 --> 00:37:46.880

00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:47.680
 is made

00:37:47.680 --> 00:37:47.980
 perfect

00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:02.980
 the favor

 that is

00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:18.519
 not

00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:19.440
 a human

00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:20.079
 impulse

00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:22.280
 that's a

00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:22.619
 divine

00:38:22.619 --> 00:38:23.039
 impulse

 it comes

00:38:23.579 --> 00:38:24.019
 through
