—Genesis 44:18-26
by: Dorothy Noel.
Judah recounted to Joseph everything that had transpired, reminding Joseph that he had done everything Joseph had wished. He did so with respect for Joseph’s position, withholding no detail and remaining honest at every point. This is so different from the Judah of Genesis 37, who was willing to openly lie to his father about the evil he had participated in. Judah’s transformation is evidence of God’s work in his life, and an encouragement to us to continue to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).
