—Genesis 44:27-34
by: Dorothy Noel.
Judah’s impassioned plea demonstrated a complete change in heart from who he was before. Not only was he demonstrating love for his brother, but also respect for his father. He finally understood the depth of his father’s love for his son and would do anything to keep his father from being hurt again, even at the cost of his own freedom. This self-sacrifice points us towards the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf when He took our place on the cross.
