00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.580
 Welcome to the Willow Ridge Sermons podcast.

00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:14.000
 We're so glad you chose to listen today.

00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:19.360
 This week's message explores the emotional and spiritual journey of Joseph and his brothers

00:00:19.360 --> 00:00:20.760
 during their reunion in Egypt.

00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:26.880
 We'll look at the themes of necessity, desperation, and divine provision as outlined in Genesis

00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:27.420
 43.

00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:32.600
 Through Joseph's compassionate actions, we see a reflection of Christ's character as

00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.000
 a provider, server, and blesser.

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:40.920
 Join us as we examine these powerful moments of reconciliation, trust, and the transformative

00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:42.800
 work of God in the hearts of his people.

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:44.080
 Thanks for listening.

00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:57.620
 Well, good morning.

00:00:58.620 --> 00:01:02.100
 If you got your Bibles, and I hope you do, I want to invite you to join me in Genesis

00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:03.760
 chapter 43.

00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:05.380
 It was a great morning.

00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:07.280
 I'm in our studies today.

00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:08.700
 I had a wonderful time.

00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:09.460
 I'm in here.

00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:15.220
 We're working through a study of angels, demons, and Satan here in the auditorium at 9 a.m.

00:01:15.220 --> 00:01:16.900
 I know there's other studies happening.

00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:17.720
 One's in 104.

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:19.820
 Other ones are over in building, too.

00:01:20.140 --> 00:01:24.460
 And so if you're one of our adults, we want to encourage you to come and to be a part of

00:01:24.460 --> 00:01:24.640
 those.

00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:26.880
 Just a wonderful time that we can be together.

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:32.360
 But then also, you know, just our kids' ministry back in this morning, our student ministry back

00:01:32.360 --> 00:01:33.920
 in this morning to meet at 9 a.m.

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:35.680
 Just a wonderful, wonderful time.

00:01:35.780 --> 00:01:36.940
 So we want to invite you all.

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:39.480
 Hey, it's the new year.

00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:44.460
 We're building some new practices and some new disciplines into our life and want to encourage

00:01:44.460 --> 00:01:47.000
 you to come and to be a part of that.

00:01:47.260 --> 00:01:50.700
 Just a wonderful opportunity for us to do this together.

00:01:51.160 --> 00:01:56.460
 If you are a first-time guest, at the end of the service, my wife and I will be back here

00:01:56.460 --> 00:02:00.140
 to my left at the very back at that black table back there.

00:02:00.460 --> 00:02:04.360
 And if you're a first-time guest, if you wouldn't mind, just a couple minutes, just stop by

00:02:04.360 --> 00:02:04.600
 there.

00:02:04.860 --> 00:02:06.140
 We would love to just meet you.

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:07.780
 We would love to learn your name.

00:02:08.100 --> 00:02:10.820
 And thank you for being here and for worshiping with us.

00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:15.180
 And if there is any questions that you have about our church, about our ministry, about

00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:19.420
 our outreach, our strategy, our missions, whatever it is that you have questions about, it's

00:02:19.420 --> 00:02:21.200
 a wonderful place to get those answered.

00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.820
 But we would love to have you with us.

00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:27.480
 We're grateful to have you with us this morning.

00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:31.740
 So we're going to get started in our time of studying God's word together.

00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:36.580
 And by doing so, I want to read one of our verses, or two of our verses this morning from

00:02:36.580 --> 00:02:42.020
 Genesis 43, starting verse 29, it says, and he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother

00:02:42.020 --> 00:02:48.580
 Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, is this your youngest brother of whom you spoke of?

00:02:49.260 --> 00:02:51.220
 God be gracious to you, my son.

00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:56.920
 Then Joseph hurried out, for his compassion grew warm for his brother.

00:02:57.600 --> 00:02:59.640
 And he sought a place to weep.

00:03:00.580 --> 00:03:03.680
 And he entered his chamber and wept there.

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:05.240
 Would you pray with me?

00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:09.180
 God, we thank you for the wonderful beauty and the truth of your word.

00:03:10.380 --> 00:03:13.480
 God, we thank you that we could gather together earlier this morning.

00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:32.260
 God, I pray this morning that as we look at Genesis 43, or as we continue to look at the battle and

00:03:32.260 --> 00:03:38.360
 the famine, God, that we would see very clearly and evidently the work of your hand.

00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:40.860
 And God, we would praise you for it.

00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:46.040
 God, thank you for the joy and the beauty of what it means for me to be able to pastor

00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:46.660
 this church.

00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:53.920
 God, as I share this morning from your word, God, would there be less of me and there be

00:03:53.920 --> 00:03:54.660
 more of you.

00:03:55.760 --> 00:03:56.740
 And it's in Jesus' name we pray.

00:03:57.440 --> 00:03:57.700
 Amen.

00:03:58.180 --> 00:03:58.360
 Amen.

00:03:59.020 --> 00:04:02.240
 Well, last week, we've been working through Genesis.

00:04:02.980 --> 00:04:07.220
 In fact, I was working on some of my spring teaching calendar this week.

00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:13.960
 And if you're curious, we've been almost in Genesis for roughly two years.

00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:20.240
 I think in total, that's like 56 messages so far that we've worked through, which means

00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:21.460
 we've been taking some breaks.

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:22.040
 But I do.

00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:23.100
 Berger and I were talking.

00:04:23.200 --> 00:04:28.200
 I think February 16th, actually, we'll kind of wrap up our time in Genesis.

00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.000
 And then I believe we're going to be jumping into Titus at that point.

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.480
 So it'd be a good opportunity for us to do that.

00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:38.420
 But we've been working through this and we're seeing the work in the hand of God moving in

00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:44.240
 and particularly building on from last week in Genesis 40, at the end of 41, actually, and

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:49.540
 then end of 42, we see that the reality of where we find ourselves is that a famine has

00:04:49.540 --> 00:04:54.020
 hit, a worldwide famine has come.

00:04:54.160 --> 00:05:00.240
 And with that, it brings all the death and the destruction and the desperation of what

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.500
 we would think of when we think of a famine.

00:05:02.820 --> 00:05:05.960
 And this famine didn't just affect a village.

00:05:06.100 --> 00:05:08.140
 It didn't affect a country.

00:05:08.460 --> 00:05:09.860
 It didn't affect a region.

00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:14.460
 That God's word is very clear that it affected the entire world.

00:05:14.460 --> 00:05:21.260
 And that's the point, that's the bottom, that's the valley that we find ourselves in in Scripture

00:05:21.260 --> 00:05:22.340
 during this time.

00:05:22.420 --> 00:05:29.160
 And we ask the question in your life and in mine, what happens when earthly optimism, as

00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.300
 limited as that is, and earthly realities collide?

00:05:33.500 --> 00:05:35.340
 Like what happens with us then?

00:05:35.580 --> 00:05:41.860
 And what do you and I need to do as we walk through the famines of this world, as we walk

00:05:41.860 --> 00:05:47.400
 through the difficulties of this world, as we walk through the struggles of this world, how

00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:53.020
 in the world do we gain a heavenly perspective in these moments?

00:05:54.060 --> 00:05:59.340
 And we're seeing from the life of this family, this family that we've been journeying with

00:05:59.340 --> 00:06:06.520
 for a very long time, all the way back to old Grandpa Abraham, we're seeing the faithfulness

00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:09.200
 in the hands of God.

00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:20.680
 So for you and I, what do we do, what do we desire when God allows, ordains, sends famine

00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.100
 our way?

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:29.020
 And what we came to last week, what we'll be pushing forward this week is continuing on to

00:06:29.020 --> 00:06:38.620
 trust that God is both working in and working through the famine, whatever that famine looks

00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:48.320
 like, medical, financial, relational, emotional, whatever famine that you find yourselves in,

00:06:49.220 --> 00:06:55.700
 that when as followers of Jesus Christ, that we can trust that God is both working in and

00:06:55.700 --> 00:06:59.840
 working through the difficulty that we find ourselves in.

00:07:00.440 --> 00:07:08.320
 And I think what we're going to see here specifically in chapter 43 is some specific examples of

00:07:08.320 --> 00:07:15.620
 how God can choose to work in these times, to give us a hope to piece these together of some

00:07:15.620 --> 00:07:21.020
 examples within this family, within this circumstance, within this family that I think that we can apply

00:07:21.020 --> 00:07:24.280
 to our life and our walk of where we find ourselves.

00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:31.260
 So the story as we look through Genesis, Genesis is built around in a lot of ways as Genesis continues

00:07:31.260 --> 00:07:37.680
 to be the story of God and His revelation of mankind for who He is and His desire and His will for our

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:37.960
 lives.

00:07:38.180 --> 00:07:42.460
 But we see these individuals that it's themed around during that time.

00:07:42.500 --> 00:07:45.140
 And we found ourselves now that we're with Joseph.

00:07:45.640 --> 00:07:46.380
 We're with Joseph.

00:07:46.380 --> 00:07:50.800
 So just a quick little recap, not as much as last week, but if you weren't here with us,

00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:55.880
 I want to kind of bring you up to speed that almost 20 years ago in the historical timeline

00:07:55.880 --> 00:08:00.200
 of Scripture with where we find ourselves in thousands of years earlier, but in the story

00:08:00.200 --> 00:08:07.460
 of Scripture 20 years ago, Joseph's brothers sell him into slavery, sell him into slavery,

00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:08.480
 tell daddy's dead.

00:08:09.660 --> 00:08:09.780
 Right?

00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:12.260
 Like the epitome of the dysfunctional family.

00:08:13.200 --> 00:08:14.900
 And this is what we find here.

00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:21.620
 And being sold into slavery, if that wasn't enough, Joseph goes through some of the most difficult

00:08:21.620 --> 00:08:23.960
 years of his life.

00:08:24.940 --> 00:08:32.460
 But what we find is that through that, what is reassuring to us, what reminder and brings hope

00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:36.980
 to us is that through all of the difficulty, God is faithful to him.

00:08:38.260 --> 00:08:43.420
 And Joseph, and Joseph, while not perfect, is faithful to God.

00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:50.380
 So we see this man who's taken from his home, who's betrayed by his family, who's sold into

00:08:50.380 --> 00:08:56.640
 slavery, whose dad thinks that he's dead, has now found himself through the hand and the

00:08:56.640 --> 00:09:01.600
 work and the move of God, not through, I do not believe in coincidence, but through the

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:09.340
 purposes and plans of God, finds himself, once a slave, once imprisoned, now finds himself

00:09:09.340 --> 00:09:12.200
 as the second in charge in Egypt.

00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:17.260
 He's responsible for the finances, he's responsible for the food, for the agriculture.

00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:20.920
 And so we find ourselves, there's a famine.

00:09:21.820 --> 00:09:22.580
 There's a famine.

00:09:22.780 --> 00:09:27.680
 And the beauty of the story is Joseph is not in panic because there is a famine, but Joseph

00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:31.520
 is in confidence of the plan of God because God had Joseph prepared for this.

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:37.720
 Season, in this time, and so there's food stored up in Egypt, and so people come there who

00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.560
 need to buy food, and they must buy it from Joseph.

00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:47.180
 And so what we found in Genesis, the end of 41, is that when the famine comes, and remember,

00:09:47.540 --> 00:09:51.180
 it's a worldwide famine, and so it affects Joseph's family.

00:09:52.280 --> 00:10:01.760
 It says Joseph's dad, Jacob, also known as Israel, sends his other sons to Egypt to buy grain.

00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:09.060
 And so they unknowingly find themselves standing before their brother Joseph.

00:10:10.520 --> 00:10:20.720
 And Joseph, instead of bringing a death sentence, instead extends life, extends blessing, extends

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:29.360
 favors, favor to his brothers, and sends them back home with grain, but with the expectation

00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:35.280
 that they will return, and that when they return, that they will bring their younger brother,

00:10:35.400 --> 00:10:36.000
 Benjamin, with them.

00:10:36.520 --> 00:10:41.180
 And so, starting in chapter 43, we'll pick up in verse 1.

00:10:42.640 --> 00:10:46.420
 Now, the famine was severe in the land, so it's continued on.

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:53.760
 And when they, this is Joseph's family, had eaten the grain that they had brought from Egypt,

00:10:53.900 --> 00:10:58.380
 their father said to them, go again and buy us a little food.

00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:04.980
 But Judah said to him, the man, now he's speaking about Joseph, remember, but he does not know

00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:05.660
 that this is Joseph.

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:12.800
 The man solemnly warned us, saying, you shall not see my face unless your brother is with

00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:13.020
 you.

00:11:13.900 --> 00:11:18.480
 If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food.

00:11:19.060 --> 00:11:21.980
 But if you will not send him, we will not go down.

00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.740
 For the man said to us, you shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.

00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:32.980
 Now, Israel said, why did you treat me so badly as to tell the man that you had another brother?

00:11:34.260 --> 00:11:39.760
 They replied, the man questioned us carefully about ourselves and our kindred, saying, is your

00:11:39.760 --> 00:11:40.820
 father still alive?

00:11:40.900 --> 00:11:42.020
 Do you have another brother?

00:11:42.760 --> 00:11:45.660
 And what we told him was in answer to these questions.

00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:51.480
 Could we in any way know that he would say, bring your brother down?

00:11:52.380 --> 00:11:58.460
 And Judah said to Israel, his father, send the boy with me and we will arise and go that

00:11:58.460 --> 00:12:05.040
 we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.

00:12:06.140 --> 00:12:08.640
 I will be a pledge of his safety.

00:12:09.220 --> 00:12:12.380
 From my hand, you shall require him.

00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:17.800
 And if I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame

00:12:17.800 --> 00:12:18.220
 forever.

00:12:19.300 --> 00:12:23.300
 If we had not delayed, we would not have returned twice.

00:12:24.560 --> 00:12:29.940
 Then their father, Israel, said to them, if it must be so, then do this.

00:12:30.640 --> 00:12:35.460
 Take some of the choice fruits of the land in your bags and carry a present down to the

00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:40.560
 man, a little balm and a little honey and gum and myrrh, pustachio nuts and almonds.

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:46.400
 Take double the money with you, carry back with you the money that was returned in the mouth

00:12:46.400 --> 00:12:47.400
 of your sacks.

00:12:47.520 --> 00:12:48.800
 Perhaps it was an oversight.

00:12:49.920 --> 00:12:53.060
 Take also your brother and arise and go to the man.

00:12:53.900 --> 00:12:56.860
 May God Almighty grant you mercy before the man.

00:12:57.680 --> 00:13:05.320
 And may he send back your brother and Benjamin and ask for me if I'm bereaved of my children.

00:13:05.520 --> 00:13:06.760
 I am bereaved.

00:13:07.400 --> 00:13:13.500
 So we see this interaction, this reality of what takes place in the beginning of chapter

00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:15.740
 43 where the famine has continued.

00:13:17.020 --> 00:13:22.520
 And we see this family who had grain and now they do not.

00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:29.800
 And again, you and I have talked about, like, we understand the depth of the famine.

00:13:30.880 --> 00:13:36.560
 I mean, imagine that the pantry is bare, that the cupboard is bare, that the grocery store

00:13:36.560 --> 00:13:38.000
 is bare.

00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:46.400
 We had the winter storm that kind of came through, and I enjoyed snow for about 20 minutes.

00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:55.020
 And not in preparation for a Hoth-leveled blizzard, that's a Star Wars reference, right?

00:13:56.020 --> 00:13:59.920
 But because my wife wanted to cook chicken stew, and that's one of my favorite meals that she

00:13:59.920 --> 00:14:05.040
 fixed during the middle of all of that, I decided that it was a good idea to go to Publix to buy

00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:09.980
 the chicken, and I watched the desperation of the people piling in and piling in and piling

00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:13.740
 in and piling in, and bread and milk were flying off the shelves just as fast as they could.

00:14:14.540 --> 00:14:14.680
 Right?

00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.520
 You and I, we don't understand the level of famine.

00:14:17.680 --> 00:14:26.020
 We oftentimes have the understanding of being inconvenienced, but we see here the desperation

00:14:26.020 --> 00:14:28.120
 of the famine of what's there.

00:14:29.020 --> 00:14:32.600
 And if you've walked through, we were talking about this earlier this morning after my study

00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:36.620
 was over with, what it's like to walk through a season like this.

00:14:37.460 --> 00:14:43.300
 That while you're in it, you're wondering, Lord, like, why is this happening to me?

00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.260
 I don't know if you've ever asked that question.

00:14:46.380 --> 00:14:47.720
 I know that I've asked it.

00:14:48.540 --> 00:14:53.700
 And I'm sure if you're being honest with yourself, that you would agree with me that you've walked

00:14:53.700 --> 00:14:59.980
 through a time, a season, a circumstance, a famine of your life, and you have asked the

00:14:59.980 --> 00:15:02.800
 question, God, why is this happening to me?

00:15:04.220 --> 00:15:06.640
 And it seems like everything is building.

00:15:07.580 --> 00:15:13.080
 It doesn't just seem like there's one issue, but there's issue after issue after issue after

00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:13.560
 issue.

00:15:13.560 --> 00:15:20.540
 And the snowball of destruction is headed right toward you, and there's nothing that you can

00:15:20.540 --> 00:15:20.880
 do.

00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:28.700
 And I think in these first 14 verses, that's what we find in Jacob.

00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:30.480
 That's what we find in Israel.

00:15:31.640 --> 00:15:40.180
 And so what I want us to see, what God is doing here, is when God creates necessity and desperation.

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:49.780
 When God, in your life and mine, creates within us the beauty of necessity and desperation.

00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.600
 Jacob Israel is at rock bottom.

00:15:54.400 --> 00:16:00.660
 This is hard on our end to understand in this context, but easier on our end to understand

00:16:00.660 --> 00:16:01.960
 in our context.

00:16:02.640 --> 00:16:03.700
 We've walked through this.

00:16:03.780 --> 00:16:04.400
 We've seen this.

00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:05.280
 We've experienced it.

00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:10.280
 We know what rock bottom feels like, and this is where this man finds himself.

00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.160
 But we know his story.

00:16:12.660 --> 00:16:14.420
 We know what he's gone through.

00:16:14.520 --> 00:16:16.060
 We know what he's experienced.

00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:18.340
 We know that this is a man of faith.

00:16:18.980 --> 00:16:20.480
 This is not a pagan man.

00:16:20.760 --> 00:16:21.940
 This is not a heretic.

00:16:21.940 --> 00:16:25.760
 This is a man who loves God, who desires to follow him.

00:16:25.940 --> 00:16:28.260
 He's seen the work and the hand of God move.

00:16:28.520 --> 00:16:33.420
 Jacob knows that he's blessed by God, promised by God, saved by God, forgiven by God.

00:16:33.660 --> 00:16:37.920
 In fact, what we see in these last several verses of the scripture, he says, listen, listen,

00:16:38.140 --> 00:16:42.700
 I kind of know what it's like to deal with someone who's kind of upset with you or they're

00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:44.440
 questionable with you of what they may do.

00:16:44.500 --> 00:16:45.880
 Because remember about Jacob with Esau?

00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:48.240
 Remember what he did at the very first with Esau?

00:16:48.420 --> 00:16:51.020
 He's like, hey, hey, let's send some gifts to Esau.

00:16:51.020 --> 00:16:55.900
 And then when Jacob finally encountered his brother Esau, that God had worked and moved

00:16:55.900 --> 00:16:59.620
 in that situation, and they were restored for a time right there.

00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:03.620
 And so he says, listen, you're going to this man in a foreign land, and here's what we need

00:17:03.620 --> 00:17:03.900
 to do.

00:17:04.020 --> 00:17:08.640
 And he loads them down with what they have left.

00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:13.180
 And he says, go and take this.

00:17:14.860 --> 00:17:19.820
 We know that God has worked and moved in the life of Jacob.

00:17:21.100 --> 00:17:22.540
 But God's not done with Jacob.

00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:26.320
 And you know that God's worked and moved in your life.

00:17:27.120 --> 00:17:34.160
 But the beauty of what God creates in famines that we walk through is God saying, but I'm not

00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:34.860
 done with you yet.

00:17:35.900 --> 00:17:39.000
 This may be what I taught you, but here's what I'm teaching you.

00:17:39.860 --> 00:17:42.620
 And this may be what I'm teaching you, but this is what I will teach you.

00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:46.480
 This may be what I've done in you, but this is what I'm doing in you.

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.540
 And this is what I'm doing in you, but this is what I will do in you.

00:17:50.340 --> 00:17:55.920
 And oftentimes for God, what God has to bring us to the point that in our life, that God

00:17:55.920 --> 00:18:00.240
 has to bring us to a point of necessity and desperation in our life.

00:18:01.560 --> 00:18:04.060
 And this is what he does in the life of Jacob.

00:18:05.040 --> 00:18:08.360
 God's going to use a famine.

00:18:09.980 --> 00:18:13.700
 God's going to use the potential loss of a son.

00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:23.820
 God's going to use, in Jacob's perspective, right, the past loss of a son to work and move

00:18:23.820 --> 00:18:24.620
 in the life of Jacob.

00:18:24.780 --> 00:18:27.360
 But look at where Jacob finds himself.

00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:29.200
 Look at where Jacob finds himself.

00:18:29.540 --> 00:18:35.560
 Verse 2, and when they had eaten the grain that they had brought from Egypt, their father

00:18:35.560 --> 00:18:39.600
 said to them, go again, buy us a little food.

00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.320
 Bring him to the point of the desperation of necessity.

00:18:45.780 --> 00:18:51.160
 God had to paint a picture that was clear and evident before him and brought it in famine.

00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:56.020
 He brought it in the loss of, the potential loss of a brother.

00:18:56.120 --> 00:18:57.000
 Look at verse 6.

00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:58.900
 Why did you treat me?

00:18:58.920 --> 00:18:59.640
 This is what he says to his sons.

00:18:59.820 --> 00:19:00.880
 The sons that have brought him food.

00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:05.380
 The sons who have said he promises more if we just return with Benjamin.

00:19:06.760 --> 00:19:10.760
 Why did you treat me so badly as to tell the man that you had another brother?

00:19:12.260 --> 00:19:14.540
 Not why did you treat Benjamin so badly.

00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:16.260
 Not praise the Lord.

00:19:16.340 --> 00:19:17.120
 We get more food.

00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:18.720
 You just got to bring your brother with you.

00:19:21.800 --> 00:19:24.520
 But we see the reality of Jacob's heart.

00:19:25.860 --> 00:19:26.780
 Look at verse 14.

00:19:28.780 --> 00:19:39.020
 May God Almighty grant you mercy before the man, and may he send back your other brother and Benjamin.

00:19:44.120 --> 00:19:45.360
 May he send him back.

00:19:46.840 --> 00:19:47.740
 May he send him back.

00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.560
 You see, there's another brother that's in prison.

00:19:54.460 --> 00:19:55.500
 May he send him back.

00:19:56.800 --> 00:19:59.580
 May he send back the food that will be sustained.

00:20:01.020 --> 00:20:02.840
 May God Almighty work and move.

00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:11.100
 May God Almighty protect Benjamin, not even recognizing what God's going to be doing in his life and in the life of Joseph.

00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:13.440
 But he doesn't end there.

00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:14.200
 But he doesn't end there.

00:20:15.280 --> 00:20:15.920
 He doesn't.

00:20:17.080 --> 00:20:23.720
 It's this point where, in my Bible and yours, there's this period that's there.

00:20:25.300 --> 00:20:34.000
 It's this part where we see in the praise of God, in the confidence of God.

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:40.020
 But then in the weakness, in the limitation of man.

00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:47.920
 But as for me, as for me, I am bereaved.

00:20:49.280 --> 00:20:50.420
 I am mourning.

00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:52.700
 I am at loss.

00:20:53.760 --> 00:20:56.000
 The lack of joy that is there for me.

00:20:57.620 --> 00:21:04.900
 And the purpose of famine shows in our life necessity.

00:21:05.900 --> 00:21:07.600
 Of what we need.

00:21:08.740 --> 00:21:12.440
 And the desperation for what God needs to do.

00:21:13.600 --> 00:21:16.080
 With the season of famine that you find yourself in.

00:21:16.760 --> 00:21:18.980
 The question is, have you humbled yourself?

00:21:19.100 --> 00:21:19.880
 We look back last week.

00:21:20.380 --> 00:21:22.840
 Have you humbled yourself to see your necessity?

00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:24.460
 Of what you need?

00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:26.700
 And have you humbled yourself?

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:28.580
 And become desperate?

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.300
 Not just that your circumstance will change.

00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:38.940
 But of the evidence of the work and the move of God himself.

00:21:40.540 --> 00:21:44.600
 When we, as followers of Jesus, hit necessity.

00:21:45.320 --> 00:21:48.600
 When we, as followers of Jesus, hit desperation.

00:21:49.300 --> 00:21:55.240
 What we find in that, the beauty of that, is dependence on Jesus.

00:21:56.420 --> 00:21:57.680
 The dependence on him.

00:21:58.460 --> 00:22:01.360
 This is the necessity of my life.

00:22:01.600 --> 00:22:02.900
 God, of where you brought me.

00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.680
 God, this is the desperation for where I find myself.

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:08.700
 And in this and in this alone.

00:22:09.020 --> 00:22:11.760
 God, I can do nothing else but be dependent on you.

00:22:13.840 --> 00:22:17.220
 Dependence is the key to faithfulness.

00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:20.000
 I've heard this statement before.

00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:26.140
 You know, Jesus, he's just a phone call away.

00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.180
 And I disagree with that.

00:22:30.700 --> 00:22:36.440
 This isn't implying that in the walk with Christ that you have,

00:22:36.540 --> 00:22:39.220
 it's that he's far from you.

00:22:40.820 --> 00:22:43.600
 That he's away.

00:22:44.900 --> 00:22:46.680
 But that the very presence of God,

00:22:46.760 --> 00:22:49.480
 and that's why Paul says in 1 Thessalonians,

00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:56.620
 that you and I, the beauty in the relationship we have with our creator,

00:22:56.760 --> 00:22:58.860
 the beauty that we have with our savior,

00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:00.400
 is that he's right there.

00:23:01.560 --> 00:23:03.640
 And that's why he says pray, pray without ceasing.

00:23:04.760 --> 00:23:05.420
 Pray without ceasing.

00:23:06.280 --> 00:23:06.900
 Pray without ceasing.

00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:12.000
 So where you find yourself in these moments,

00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:16.420
 is there this desperation that's there for God?

00:23:17.520 --> 00:23:21.200
 And maybe, maybe during your famine,

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:25.820
 what God's trying to bring you to is a point of desperation for him.

00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.320
 Let's keep reading verse 15.

00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:38.560
 So the men took this present,

00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:43.760
 and they took double the money with them and Benjamin.

00:23:43.760 --> 00:23:50.700
 And they arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.

00:23:52.320 --> 00:23:54.040
 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them,

00:23:54.120 --> 00:23:56.580
 he said to the steward of his house,

00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.060
 bring the men into the house

00:24:00.060 --> 00:24:03.660
 and slaughter an animal and make ready,

00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:06.640
 for the men are to dine with me at noon.

00:24:07.280 --> 00:24:09.780
 And the man did as Joseph told him

00:24:09.780 --> 00:24:13.260
 and brought the men to Joseph's house.

00:24:13.980 --> 00:24:15.520
 And the men were afraid

00:24:15.520 --> 00:24:17.940
 because they were brought to Joseph's house.

00:24:18.120 --> 00:24:18.840
 And they said,

00:24:18.840 --> 00:24:23.220
 it is because of the money which was replaced in our sacks

00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:25.520
 the first time that we are brought in

00:24:25.520 --> 00:24:29.480
 so that he may assault us and fall upon us

00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:32.580
 to make us servants and seize our donkeys.

00:24:32.800 --> 00:24:36.440
 Like, this just escalated quickly for them, right?

00:24:39.320 --> 00:24:42.920
 So they went up to the steward of Joseph's house

00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.400
 and spoke with him at the door of the house

00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:46.400
 and said,

00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:53.000
 And when we came to the lodging place,

00:24:53.080 --> 00:24:54.100
 we opened our sacks

00:24:54.100 --> 00:24:57.260
 and there was each man's money in the mouth of his sack

00:24:57.260 --> 00:24:59.700
 and our money in full weight.

00:25:00.120 --> 00:25:02.700
 So we have brought it again with us

00:25:02.700 --> 00:25:06.240
 and we have brought other money down with us to buy food.

00:25:07.100 --> 00:25:10.440
 We do not know who put our money in our sacks.

00:25:11.600 --> 00:25:12.400
 And he replied,

00:25:12.540 --> 00:25:13.180
 Peace to you.

00:25:13.280 --> 00:25:14.340
 Do not be afraid.

00:25:15.780 --> 00:25:18.120
 Your God and the God of your father

00:25:18.120 --> 00:25:20.980
 has put treasure in your sacks for you.

00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:22.920
 I received your money.

00:25:24.020 --> 00:25:25.340
 Then he brought Simeon,

00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:26.220
 this is the other brother,

00:25:26.340 --> 00:25:27.200
 out to them.

00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:30.860
 And when the man had brought the men into Joseph's house

00:25:30.860 --> 00:25:32.480
 and given them water

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:34.400
 and they washed their feet

00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:37.200
 and we'd given their donkeys fodder,

00:25:37.900 --> 00:25:40.940
 they prepared the present for Joseph's coming at noon

00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:45.420
 for they heard that they should eat bread there.

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:48.000
 When Joseph came home,

00:25:48.800 --> 00:25:51.760
 they brought into the house to him

00:25:51.760 --> 00:25:54.480
 the present they had with them

00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:57.640
 and bowed down to him to the ground.

00:25:58.780 --> 00:26:02.900
 The fulfillment of the dream that God had given Joseph.

00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:05.560
 Verse 27,

00:26:05.660 --> 00:26:07.680
 And he required about their welfare and said,

00:26:09.180 --> 00:26:09.980
 Is your father well?

00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:12.920
 The old man of whom you spoke.

00:26:13.460 --> 00:26:14.940
 Is he still alive?

00:26:16.140 --> 00:26:17.060
 And they said,

00:26:17.860 --> 00:26:20.220
 Your servant, our father, is well.

00:26:21.040 --> 00:26:22.300
 He is alive still.

00:26:23.180 --> 00:26:25.420
 And they bowed their hands and prostrated themselves.

00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:27.380
 And he lifted up his eyes

00:26:27.380 --> 00:26:28.920
 and saw his brother Benjamin,

00:26:29.800 --> 00:26:30.800
 his mother's son,

00:26:30.860 --> 00:26:31.200
 and said,

00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:33.960
 Is this your youngest brother of whom you spoke to me?

00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:36.860
 God, be gracious to you, my son.

00:26:38.220 --> 00:26:40.920
 Then Joseph hurried out for his compassion,

00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:42.820
 grew warm for his brother,

00:26:43.580 --> 00:26:45.300
 and saw a place to weep.

00:26:45.980 --> 00:26:48.340
 And he entered his chamber and wept there.

00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:52.300
 Then he washed his face and came out.

00:26:53.320 --> 00:26:54.740
 And controlling himself,

00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:56.260
 he said,

00:26:57.400 --> 00:26:58.240
 Serve the food.

00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:02.000
 Let's pause here for just a few minutes.

00:27:04.140 --> 00:27:06.080
 What God does

00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:09.760
 in his graciousness and his kindness

00:27:09.760 --> 00:27:14.800
 is he brings times of famine,

00:27:16.020 --> 00:27:17.220
 times of desperation

00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:19.740
 to us in our life

00:27:19.740 --> 00:27:23.400
 so that I believe this,

00:27:24.520 --> 00:27:26.260
 that we can clearly see

00:27:26.260 --> 00:27:28.020
 who Jesus is.

00:27:28.020 --> 00:27:35.480
 when I got saved,

00:27:36.320 --> 00:27:39.180
 there were illusions

00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:42.480
 of my life that I believed.

00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:48.280
 There were things that I thought were reality,

00:27:48.600 --> 00:27:51.060
 but they were illusions.

00:27:52.060 --> 00:27:54.300
 There were things that I thought were truths,

00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:55.900
 but they were lies.

00:27:57.460 --> 00:27:59.620
 And as I look back on the events

00:27:59.620 --> 00:28:01.320
 leading up to the day

00:28:01.320 --> 00:28:02.920
 that God and his goodness

00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:03.620
 and his kindness

00:28:03.620 --> 00:28:05.280
 revealed himself to me

00:28:05.280 --> 00:28:06.500
 and I put my faith and hope

00:28:06.500 --> 00:28:07.680
 and trust in him,

00:28:09.120 --> 00:28:10.260
 what I see

00:28:10.260 --> 00:28:13.440
 is a very painful

00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:16.160
 three-day journey

00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:18.020
 for me

00:28:18.020 --> 00:28:19.100
 and my life

00:28:19.100 --> 00:28:22.000
 for those around me

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:24.240
 where when we look

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:25.200
 in the moment

00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:26.560
 and what we saw

00:28:26.560 --> 00:28:28.300
 was death,

00:28:28.560 --> 00:28:28.920
 lies,

00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:29.760
 and destruction.

00:28:30.580 --> 00:28:30.860
 You see,

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:32.260
 I had convinced myself

00:28:32.260 --> 00:28:33.820
 in spite of all that was going on

00:28:33.820 --> 00:28:34.460
 around me

00:28:34.460 --> 00:28:35.420
 that I was fine,

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:36.120
 that I was good,

00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:37.880
 and what God needed to do

00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:38.940
 in my life

00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:39.800
 was bring me

00:28:39.800 --> 00:28:41.600
 to the rock-bottom point

00:28:41.600 --> 00:28:43.140
 so that God could not only

00:28:43.140 --> 00:28:43.680
 just reveal

00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:44.860
 who he is,

00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:46.560
 but that God could reveal

00:28:46.560 --> 00:28:47.140
 to me

00:28:47.140 --> 00:28:48.140
 who I am

00:28:48.140 --> 00:28:50.200
 in light of who he is.

00:28:52.260 --> 00:28:53.580
 And that's what we see.

00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:56.500
 You've got the journey

00:28:56.500 --> 00:28:58.420
 of these brothers

00:28:58.420 --> 00:29:02.080
 and what their life

00:29:02.080 --> 00:29:03.600
 has been consumed with

00:29:03.600 --> 00:29:06.040
 is lie after lie

00:29:06.040 --> 00:29:07.200
 after lie

00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:09.440
 for 20 years

00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:11.460
 living in the lie

00:29:11.460 --> 00:29:13.240
 that their dad thinks

00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:15.020
 that their brother Joseph

00:29:15.020 --> 00:29:16.080
 is dead

00:29:16.080 --> 00:29:16.980
 and they had nothing

00:29:16.980 --> 00:29:17.880
 to do with it

00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:20.660
 when it's the sinfulness

00:29:20.660 --> 00:29:21.420
 of their life

00:29:21.420 --> 00:29:22.120
 that brought them

00:29:22.120 --> 00:29:22.780
 to this point.

00:29:24.380 --> 00:29:25.980
 And what God is doing

00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:26.620
 in this,

00:29:26.860 --> 00:29:27.720
 what God is doing

00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:28.620
 in the famine,

00:29:28.900 --> 00:29:29.660
 what God is doing

00:29:29.660 --> 00:29:30.420
 in this moment

00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:31.460
 of what I believe,

00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:32.600
 of what we see

00:29:32.600 --> 00:29:34.200
 in these 16 verses

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:35.420
 of what we find

00:29:35.420 --> 00:29:36.860
 in Genesis chapter 43

00:29:36.860 --> 00:29:38.320
 is he's going to use

00:29:38.320 --> 00:29:40.720
 Joseph in a particular way

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:41.960
 for us to see

00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:43.060
 in this moment

00:29:43.060 --> 00:29:43.780
 and I believe

00:29:43.780 --> 00:29:44.340
 the brothers

00:29:44.340 --> 00:29:45.420
 could look back

00:29:45.420 --> 00:29:45.900
 on this

00:29:45.900 --> 00:29:47.200
 and see in their life

00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:48.080
 that in this,

00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:49.360
 in this interaction

00:29:49.360 --> 00:29:51.240
 of welcoming them

00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:52.240
 into their home,

00:29:52.340 --> 00:29:53.180
 we see a glimpse

00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:54.120
 of who Jesus is.

00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:56.660
 And it's the reminder

00:29:56.660 --> 00:29:57.340
 for you

00:29:57.340 --> 00:29:58.100
 and for me

00:29:58.100 --> 00:30:00.700
 that it does not matter

00:30:00.700 --> 00:30:03.900
 the journey

00:30:03.900 --> 00:30:05.060
 that we've sinfully

00:30:05.060 --> 00:30:06.300
 taken ourselves down

00:30:06.300 --> 00:30:09.080
 that there's the hospitality

00:30:09.080 --> 00:30:09.980
 of Christ

00:30:09.980 --> 00:30:12.100
 waiting for you

00:30:12.100 --> 00:30:13.700
 and waiting for me.

00:30:14.660 --> 00:30:15.760
 So let's look,

00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:17.840
 seeing Jesus

00:30:17.840 --> 00:30:19.700
 in Joseph.

00:30:20.840 --> 00:30:21.780
 Seeing Jesus

00:30:21.780 --> 00:30:22.520
 in Joseph.

00:30:24.020 --> 00:30:25.640
 who are these?

00:30:26.380 --> 00:30:27.500
 In the standard

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:28.840
 of the Egyptian

00:30:28.840 --> 00:30:30.520
 nobility

00:30:30.520 --> 00:30:31.520
 and government

00:30:31.520 --> 00:30:33.300
 and power scheme

00:30:33.300 --> 00:30:34.420
 and those

00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:35.440
 of influence,

00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:37.180
 these men are nothing.

00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:41.360
 but Joseph

00:30:41.360 --> 00:30:43.420
 but Joseph

00:30:43.420 --> 00:30:44.100
 is going to work

00:30:44.100 --> 00:30:45.140
 in a type of grace

00:30:45.140 --> 00:30:47.400
 that is unheard of.

00:30:48.520 --> 00:30:49.920
 Just like Jesus,

00:30:51.620 --> 00:30:52.560
 Joseph is welcoming.

00:30:53.760 --> 00:30:54.660
 He looks at his servant

00:30:54.660 --> 00:30:55.000
 and he says,

00:30:55.220 --> 00:30:55.580
 bring them in.

00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:56.900
 Bring them in.

00:30:57.480 --> 00:30:58.020
 Bring them in.

00:30:58.660 --> 00:30:59.100
 And here's what

00:30:59.100 --> 00:30:59.540
 I want to tell you

00:30:59.540 --> 00:30:59.900
 this morning

00:30:59.900 --> 00:31:01.260
 that in Christ

00:31:01.260 --> 00:31:02.800
 it does not matter

00:31:02.800 --> 00:31:03.740
 what you've done.

00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:06.280
 It does not matter

00:31:06.280 --> 00:31:07.320
 what you are doing.

00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:09.840
 It does not matter

00:31:09.840 --> 00:31:11.280
 what you are capable of.

00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:13.000
 It doesn't matter

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:13.820
 what you have given

00:31:13.820 --> 00:31:14.700
 yourself over to.

00:31:15.700 --> 00:31:16.500
 But in the beauty

00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:17.080
 and the hope

00:31:17.080 --> 00:31:18.060
 and the gospel of Christ

00:31:18.060 --> 00:31:18.700
 it doesn't say

00:31:18.700 --> 00:31:19.520
 that you have to be good

00:31:19.520 --> 00:31:20.120
 to come to him

00:31:20.120 --> 00:31:20.880
 but it says

00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:21.660
 the opposite of that.

00:31:21.760 --> 00:31:22.260
 It says in spite

00:31:22.260 --> 00:31:22.900
 of your badness,

00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:23.880
 in spite of your wickedness,

00:31:24.120 --> 00:31:24.920
 in spite of your evil,

00:31:25.060 --> 00:31:26.120
 in spite of your sinfulness

00:31:26.120 --> 00:31:27.560
 that he is fully good.

00:31:29.300 --> 00:31:31.300
 And that he tells us

00:31:31.300 --> 00:31:33.660
 that he's welcoming us in.

00:31:34.540 --> 00:31:35.560
 Not welcoming us

00:31:35.560 --> 00:31:36.280
 to be guests

00:31:36.280 --> 00:31:37.520
 for a meal

00:31:37.520 --> 00:31:39.360
 but welcoming us

00:31:39.360 --> 00:31:40.380
 to be sons and daughters

00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:41.120
 of the living God.

00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:42.660
 That he is welcoming.

00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:46.260
 It shows that he is relational.

00:31:47.140 --> 00:31:48.120
 He says bring them

00:31:48.120 --> 00:31:49.140
 into my house

00:31:49.140 --> 00:31:51.620
 and then specifically

00:31:51.620 --> 00:31:52.780
 welcome them in.

00:31:53.560 --> 00:31:54.500
 You're going to put them

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:55.260
 at my table.

00:31:55.860 --> 00:31:56.840
 You're going to bring them

00:31:56.840 --> 00:31:57.600
 before me.

00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:01.140
 You're going to welcome them

00:32:01.140 --> 00:32:03.360
 beyond all that they have

00:32:03.360 --> 00:32:04.460
 and you're going to bring them

00:32:04.460 --> 00:32:05.760
 into the most intimate

00:32:05.760 --> 00:32:09.440
 time that I can have

00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:10.340
 with them together

00:32:10.340 --> 00:32:13.020
 and what I'm going to do

00:32:13.020 --> 00:32:14.520
 is I'm going to form

00:32:14.520 --> 00:32:15.720
 a relationship with them.

00:32:16.620 --> 00:32:17.240
 And the beauty

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:18.280
 of what we find

00:32:18.280 --> 00:32:19.440
 in Jesus Christ

00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:20.820
 is that's what he invites you to.

00:32:21.820 --> 00:32:22.960
 That he's not a God

00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:24.360
 that we just come

00:32:24.360 --> 00:32:25.520
 to a building to worship

00:32:25.520 --> 00:32:27.220
 but he is a God

00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:28.700
 who is with us.

00:32:29.100 --> 00:32:29.960
 That he is a God

00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:31.300
 who we speak to.

00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:32.260
 That he is a God

00:32:32.260 --> 00:32:33.540
 that we interact with.

00:32:33.700 --> 00:32:34.480
 That he is a God

00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:35.780
 who is relationally

00:32:35.780 --> 00:32:36.800
 connected with us.

00:32:38.800 --> 00:32:40.080
 We see that he's a provider.

00:32:41.380 --> 00:32:42.300
 We see that he's a provider.

00:32:43.380 --> 00:32:43.680
 He gave them

00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:44.180
 what they needed.

00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:45.740
 He gave them

00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:46.060
 what they needed.

00:32:46.120 --> 00:32:46.480
 What did they need?

00:32:46.520 --> 00:32:47.040
 They needed a meal.

00:32:47.900 --> 00:32:48.540
 They needed a meal.

00:32:49.340 --> 00:32:50.740
 That he's the provider

00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:51.440
 that in that moment

00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:52.000
 Joseph says

00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:53.160
 they've been traveling.

00:32:53.460 --> 00:32:54.400
 They've been on this journey.

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:55.540
 They're bringing gifts

00:32:55.540 --> 00:32:56.400
 of all of these things.

00:32:56.520 --> 00:32:57.360
 They're coming in a land

00:32:57.360 --> 00:32:57.800
 of famine

00:32:57.800 --> 00:32:58.600
 and when there is nothing

00:32:58.600 --> 00:32:59.560
 and when they get there

00:32:59.560 --> 00:33:00.200
 in the desperation

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:01.080
 for what they have

00:33:01.080 --> 00:33:01.600
 and he says

00:33:01.600 --> 00:33:02.500
 I'm going to be your provider.

00:33:03.820 --> 00:33:04.700
 And the beauty

00:33:04.700 --> 00:33:05.800
 about a relationship

00:33:05.800 --> 00:33:06.440
 with God

00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:08.020
 is no matter

00:33:08.020 --> 00:33:09.860
 where you find yourself

00:33:09.860 --> 00:33:11.660
 is that Jesus

00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:12.460
 is always there

00:33:12.460 --> 00:33:12.960
 to be faithful

00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:13.320
 to those

00:33:13.320 --> 00:33:13.760
 who give you

00:33:13.760 --> 00:33:14.340
 what you need.

00:33:15.080 --> 00:33:15.500
 To give you

00:33:15.500 --> 00:33:15.980
 what you need.

00:33:16.600 --> 00:33:17.680
 To provide for you

00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:18.320
 and to ultimately

00:33:18.320 --> 00:33:19.160
 provide for you

00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:19.880
 the freedom

00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:20.500
 for your sin.

00:33:20.580 --> 00:33:21.020
 The forgiveness

00:33:21.020 --> 00:33:22.660
 of the desperation

00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:23.200
 of the evil

00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:23.820
 of your life.

00:33:25.700 --> 00:33:26.680
 And he provides.

00:33:28.100 --> 00:33:29.020
 We found that he's

00:33:29.020 --> 00:33:29.640
 a blesser.

00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:31.420
 That he's a blesser.

00:33:32.080 --> 00:33:33.620
 That we see over here

00:33:33.620 --> 00:33:34.600
 again that Joseph

00:33:34.600 --> 00:33:35.560
 was like no, no, no, no.

00:33:35.740 --> 00:33:37.340
 Like you didn't just

00:33:37.340 --> 00:33:39.420
 forget

00:33:39.420 --> 00:33:41.880
 but I blessed you

00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:43.760
 and I gave you

00:33:43.760 --> 00:33:45.280
 beyond what you needed.

00:33:46.300 --> 00:33:47.240
 That God's word

00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:48.140
 tells us

00:33:48.140 --> 00:33:49.820
 that God

00:33:49.820 --> 00:33:50.900
 desires

00:33:50.900 --> 00:33:52.220
 to bless

00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:53.660
 you and I

00:33:53.660 --> 00:33:55.440
 and that in the goodness

00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:56.540
 of who he is

00:33:56.540 --> 00:33:57.880
 that he doesn't

00:33:57.880 --> 00:33:58.620
 just bless us

00:33:58.620 --> 00:34:00.460
 with what we need

00:34:00.460 --> 00:34:02.580
 but he blesses us

00:34:02.580 --> 00:34:04.080
 what he determines

00:34:04.080 --> 00:34:05.160
 that we need

00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:05.900
 so that we can grow

00:34:05.900 --> 00:34:06.340
 in him.

00:34:06.820 --> 00:34:08.000
 So that everything

00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:09.360
 everything

00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:10.000
 is a blessing

00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:10.520
 from God.

00:34:12.240 --> 00:34:13.120
 It says

00:34:13.120 --> 00:34:14.020
 that he

00:34:14.020 --> 00:34:15.040
 served them.

00:34:16.140 --> 00:34:16.600
 That Joseph

00:34:16.600 --> 00:34:17.300
 served them.

00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:17.660
 It says

00:34:17.660 --> 00:34:18.400
 that they

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:19.460
 walked into

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:20.600
 his house

00:34:20.600 --> 00:34:23.100
 and as custom

00:34:23.100 --> 00:34:24.860
 he had them

00:34:24.860 --> 00:34:25.940
 wash themselves.

00:34:27.340 --> 00:34:28.240
 Had to wash

00:34:28.240 --> 00:34:28.720
 themselves.

00:34:31.640 --> 00:34:32.460
 They washed

00:34:32.460 --> 00:34:32.940
 their feet

00:34:32.940 --> 00:34:35.300
 and they washed

00:34:35.300 --> 00:34:35.900
 their hands

00:34:35.900 --> 00:34:40.420
 and they prepared

00:34:40.420 --> 00:34:41.280
 for the feast

00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:43.000
 that was before

00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:43.280
 them.

00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:45.460
 When we

00:34:45.460 --> 00:34:47.120
 think to the

00:34:47.120 --> 00:34:47.620
 gospels

00:34:47.620 --> 00:34:49.660
 and we think

00:34:49.660 --> 00:34:50.160
 about Jesus

00:34:50.160 --> 00:34:50.680
 in the upper

00:34:50.680 --> 00:34:51.000
 room

00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:52.700
 the Bible

00:34:52.700 --> 00:34:53.180
 tells us

00:34:53.180 --> 00:34:53.480
 that

00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:56.380
 while he

00:34:56.380 --> 00:34:57.320
 awaited

00:34:57.320 --> 00:34:58.100
 for the time

00:34:58.100 --> 00:34:58.900
 of the trail

00:34:58.900 --> 00:35:00.280
 he took off

00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:00.840
 his cloak

00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:02.080
 and he laid

00:35:02.080 --> 00:35:02.600
 it down

00:35:02.600 --> 00:35:03.700
 and he put

00:35:03.700 --> 00:35:04.320
 on a towel

00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:06.220
 the marking

00:35:06.220 --> 00:35:06.780
 of a servant

00:35:06.780 --> 00:35:08.920
 and he went

00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:09.320
 around

00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:10.520
 for everyone

00:35:10.520 --> 00:35:10.940
 who was in

00:35:10.940 --> 00:35:11.320
 the room

00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:12.940
 and he

00:35:12.940 --> 00:35:13.220
 washed

00:35:13.220 --> 00:35:13.720
 their feet

00:35:13.720 --> 00:35:17.340
 and Peter

00:35:17.340 --> 00:35:17.780
 wanted to

00:35:17.780 --> 00:35:18.100
 argue

00:35:18.100 --> 00:35:19.360
 Peter

00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:19.740
 wanted to

00:35:19.740 --> 00:35:19.960
 say I

00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:20.200
 should be

00:35:20.200 --> 00:35:20.580
 doing this

00:35:20.580 --> 00:35:21.120
 for you

00:35:21.120 --> 00:35:22.460
 and he

00:35:22.460 --> 00:35:22.880
 said unless

00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:23.220
 the son

00:35:23.220 --> 00:35:23.560
 of man

00:35:23.560 --> 00:35:24.080
 washes you

00:35:24.080 --> 00:35:24.400
 and makes

00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:24.800
 you clean

00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:25.400
 you can

00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:25.700
 have no

00:35:25.700 --> 00:35:26.060
 part of

00:35:26.060 --> 00:35:26.240
 him

00:35:26.240 --> 00:35:28.220
 and he

00:35:28.220 --> 00:35:28.540
 served

00:35:28.540 --> 00:35:29.240
 him

00:35:29.240 --> 00:35:32.160
 and he

00:35:32.160 --> 00:35:32.640
 desires to

00:35:32.640 --> 00:35:33.100
 serve you

00:35:33.100 --> 00:35:34.620
 and me

00:35:34.620 --> 00:35:36.680
 he's not

00:35:36.680 --> 00:35:37.080
 putting on

00:35:37.080 --> 00:35:37.600
 a towel

00:35:37.600 --> 00:35:38.140
 and washing

00:35:38.140 --> 00:35:38.620
 our feet

00:35:38.620 --> 00:35:40.200
 but he

00:35:40.200 --> 00:35:40.440
 got up

00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:40.960
 on a cross

00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:41.200
 and he

00:35:41.200 --> 00:35:41.560
 spilled his

00:35:41.560 --> 00:35:41.820
 blood

00:35:41.820 --> 00:35:43.700
 and through

00:35:43.700 --> 00:35:44.060
 the work

00:35:44.060 --> 00:35:44.260
 and the

00:35:44.260 --> 00:35:44.600
 power of

00:35:44.600 --> 00:35:44.980
 his blood

00:35:44.980 --> 00:35:46.020
 he serves

00:35:46.020 --> 00:35:46.380
 us

00:35:46.380 --> 00:35:47.740
 and washes

00:35:47.740 --> 00:35:48.200
 us

00:35:48.200 --> 00:35:49.380
 and makes

00:35:49.380 --> 00:35:50.020
 us clean

00:35:50.020 --> 00:35:51.340
 makes us

00:35:51.340 --> 00:35:51.680
 white as

00:35:51.680 --> 00:35:51.940
 snow

00:35:51.940 --> 00:35:54.700
 and he's

00:35:54.700 --> 00:35:55.260
 compassionate

00:35:55.260 --> 00:35:57.120
 he is

00:35:57.120 --> 00:35:57.680
 compassionate

00:35:57.680 --> 00:36:00.360
 he wept

00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:02.460
 he wept

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:06.900
 one of the

00:36:06.900 --> 00:36:07.380
 number one

00:36:07.380 --> 00:36:07.980
 things that

00:36:07.980 --> 00:36:08.500
 I hear

00:36:08.500 --> 00:36:11.180
 from two

00:36:11.180 --> 00:36:13.560
 categories

00:36:13.560 --> 00:36:14.060
 of people

00:36:14.060 --> 00:36:16.220
 one those

00:36:16.220 --> 00:36:16.920
 who have

00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:17.440
 not come

00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:17.900
 to Christ

00:36:17.900 --> 00:36:18.300
 as their

00:36:18.300 --> 00:36:19.060
 word and

00:36:19.060 --> 00:36:19.300
 savior

00:36:19.300 --> 00:36:20.560
 they believe

00:36:20.560 --> 00:36:21.380
 the things

00:36:21.380 --> 00:36:21.880
 of God's

00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:22.360
 word but

00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:22.780
 haven't put

00:36:22.780 --> 00:36:23.260
 their faith

00:36:23.260 --> 00:36:23.960
 their hope

00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:24.260
 and their

00:36:24.260 --> 00:36:24.740
 trust in

00:36:24.740 --> 00:36:24.980
 him

00:36:24.980 --> 00:36:25.680
 one of the

00:36:25.680 --> 00:36:26.140
 things that

00:36:26.140 --> 00:36:26.560
 I hear

00:36:26.560 --> 00:36:27.320
 commonly

00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:28.020
 over and

00:36:28.020 --> 00:36:28.960
 over again

00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:30.400
 is God

00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:30.860
 could never

00:36:30.860 --> 00:36:31.460
 forgive people

00:36:31.460 --> 00:36:31.900
 like me

00:36:31.900 --> 00:36:34.020
 one of the

00:36:34.020 --> 00:36:34.280
 things that

00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:34.620
 I hear from

00:36:34.620 --> 00:36:35.460
 another category

00:36:35.460 --> 00:36:36.620
 of people

00:36:36.620 --> 00:36:38.080
 are people

00:36:38.080 --> 00:36:38.480
 who have put

00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:38.880
 their faith

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:39.180
 their hope

00:36:39.180 --> 00:36:39.640
 their trust

00:36:39.640 --> 00:36:40.300
 in Jesus

00:36:40.300 --> 00:36:40.980
 and who

00:36:40.980 --> 00:36:41.360
 are going

00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:42.000
 through a

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:43.020
 season of

00:36:43.020 --> 00:36:43.580
 famine

00:36:43.580 --> 00:36:45.240
 of moral

00:36:45.240 --> 00:36:45.900
 decline

00:36:45.900 --> 00:36:46.780
 of depravity

00:36:46.780 --> 00:36:47.420
 of sin

00:36:47.420 --> 00:36:48.000
 in their life

00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:48.300
 and they

00:36:48.300 --> 00:36:49.480
 walk in that

00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:49.960
 moment and

00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:50.240
 they say

00:36:50.240 --> 00:36:50.440
 you know

00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:50.760
 I can't

00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:51.540
 worship God

00:36:51.540 --> 00:36:52.380
 I can't

00:36:52.380 --> 00:36:52.840
 study his

00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:53.140
 word

00:36:53.140 --> 00:36:53.580
 I can't

00:36:53.580 --> 00:36:54.200
 pray to him

00:36:54.200 --> 00:36:54.920
 not because

00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:55.500
 they're angry

00:36:55.500 --> 00:36:56.060
 at him

00:36:56.060 --> 00:36:58.500
 but because

00:36:58.500 --> 00:36:59.020
 they feel

00:36:59.020 --> 00:37:00.700
 like he

00:37:00.700 --> 00:37:02.420
 is angry

00:37:02.420 --> 00:37:03.140
 at them

00:37:03.140 --> 00:37:06.500
 and in

00:37:06.500 --> 00:37:07.200
 this moment

00:37:07.200 --> 00:37:09.400
 in the

00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:11.520
 complicated

00:37:11.520 --> 00:37:13.520
 journey

00:37:13.520 --> 00:37:14.380
 of Joseph's

00:37:14.380 --> 00:37:14.800
 life

00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:16.920
 he wept

00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:20.000
 and Jesus

00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.500
 sees you

00:37:22.500 --> 00:37:24.280
 and sees

00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:24.560
 me

00:37:24.560 --> 00:37:25.980
 and he

00:37:25.980 --> 00:37:26.320
 sees our

00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:26.640
 sin

00:37:26.640 --> 00:37:28.080
 and he

00:37:28.080 --> 00:37:28.600
 sees all

00:37:28.600 --> 00:37:28.940
 that it

00:37:28.940 --> 00:37:29.400
 means

00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:30.980
 in opposition

00:37:30.980 --> 00:37:32.560
 for the

00:37:32.560 --> 00:37:33.000
 God who

00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:33.780
 loves us

00:37:33.780 --> 00:37:35.080
 for the

00:37:35.080 --> 00:37:35.500
 God who

00:37:35.500 --> 00:37:37.200
 saves us

00:37:37.200 --> 00:37:39.160
 in his

00:37:39.160 --> 00:37:39.980
 response

00:37:39.980 --> 00:37:41.940
 please let

00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:42.680
 this truth

00:37:42.680 --> 00:37:44.180
 penetrate your

00:37:44.180 --> 00:37:44.840
 heart this

00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:45.140
 morning

00:37:45.140 --> 00:37:47.540
 and his

00:37:47.540 --> 00:37:48.000
 response

00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:50.540
 isn't

00:37:50.540 --> 00:37:52.640
 what serves

00:37:52.640 --> 00:37:53.080
 you right

00:37:53.080 --> 00:37:55.100
 you get

00:37:55.100 --> 00:37:55.380
 what you

00:37:55.380 --> 00:37:55.860
 deserve

00:37:55.860 --> 00:37:59.800
 his response

00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:00.620
 is compassion

00:38:00.620 --> 00:38:03.280
 his response

00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:03.840
 is to seek

00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:04.400
 to serve

00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.540
 his response

00:38:06.540 --> 00:38:07.320
 is to bless

00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:10.540
 his response

00:38:10.540 --> 00:38:13.060
 is to desire

00:38:13.060 --> 00:38:14.960
 a depth

00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:16.060
 of relationship

00:38:16.060 --> 00:38:16.740
 with you

00:38:16.740 --> 00:38:18.800
 not because

00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:19.340
 you've earned

00:38:19.340 --> 00:38:19.780
 it

00:38:19.780 --> 00:38:22.780
 but because he

00:38:22.780 --> 00:38:23.080
 did

00:38:23.080 --> 00:38:25.420
 because he

00:38:25.420 --> 00:38:25.660
 did

00:38:25.660 --> 00:38:27.760
 and this

00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:28.080
 is the

00:38:28.080 --> 00:38:28.440
 setting

00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:30.000
 that we

00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:30.440
 find

00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:33.860
 in your

00:38:33.860 --> 00:38:34.980
 famine

00:38:34.980 --> 00:38:37.100
 in your

00:38:37.100 --> 00:38:38.240
 darkness

00:38:38.240 --> 00:38:40.060
 in your

00:38:40.060 --> 00:38:40.740
 pit

00:38:40.740 --> 00:38:42.380
 in your

00:38:42.380 --> 00:38:42.980
 suffering

00:38:42.980 --> 00:38:46.300
 are you

00:38:46.300 --> 00:38:46.840
 looking at

00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:47.380
 really who

00:38:47.380 --> 00:38:48.260
 Jesus is

00:38:48.260 --> 00:38:52.400
 let's

00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:52.980
 finish these

00:38:52.980 --> 00:38:53.460
 last few

00:38:53.460 --> 00:38:53.840
 verses

00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:55.340
 verse 31

00:38:55.340 --> 00:38:55.980
 through 34

00:38:55.980 --> 00:39:00.400
 then

00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.640
 he washed

00:39:02.640 --> 00:39:03.360
 his face

00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:05.260
 and came

00:39:05.260 --> 00:39:05.600
 out

00:39:05.600 --> 00:39:08.060
 and he

00:39:08.060 --> 00:39:08.460
 controlled

00:39:08.460 --> 00:39:09.040
 himself

00:39:09.040 --> 00:39:10.880
 and said

00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:11.440
 serve the

00:39:11.440 --> 00:39:11.720
 meal

00:39:11.720 --> 00:39:16.100
 then

00:39:16.100 --> 00:39:16.400
 they

00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:17.040
 served

00:39:17.040 --> 00:39:17.380
 him

00:39:17.380 --> 00:39:17.720
 by

00:39:17.720 --> 00:39:18.200
 himself

00:39:18.200 --> 00:39:19.760
 and

00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:20.300
 Joseph's

00:39:20.300 --> 00:39:20.620
 brothers

00:39:20.620 --> 00:39:20.880
 by

00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:21.360
 themselves

00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:23.540
 and the

00:39:23.540 --> 00:39:23.920
 Egyptians

00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:24.620
 who ate

00:39:24.620 --> 00:39:25.240
 with him

00:39:25.240 --> 00:39:26.220
 by

00:39:26.220 --> 00:39:26.740
 themselves

00:39:26.740 --> 00:39:28.240
 because

00:39:28.240 --> 00:39:28.480
 the

00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:28.900
 Egyptians

00:39:28.900 --> 00:39:29.640
 could not

00:39:29.640 --> 00:39:30.680
 eat bread

00:39:30.680 --> 00:39:31.020
 with the

00:39:31.020 --> 00:39:31.340
 Hebrews

00:39:31.340 --> 00:39:33.220
 for that

00:39:33.220 --> 00:39:33.540
 is an

00:39:33.540 --> 00:39:34.020
 abomination

00:39:34.020 --> 00:39:34.520
 to the

00:39:34.520 --> 00:39:34.940
 Egyptians

00:39:34.940 --> 00:39:37.140
 now

00:39:37.140 --> 00:39:37.960
 they

00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:38.520
 this is

00:39:38.520 --> 00:39:39.400
 the

00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:39.920
 brothers

00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:41.060
 were

00:39:41.060 --> 00:39:41.380
 seated

00:39:41.380 --> 00:39:41.820
 before

00:39:41.820 --> 00:39:42.560
 Joseph

00:39:42.560 --> 00:39:42.960
 just

00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:44.740
 pause

00:39:44.740 --> 00:39:45.000
 here

00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:45.880
 this

00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:46.060
 would

00:39:46.060 --> 00:39:46.220
 have

00:39:46.220 --> 00:39:46.660
 been

00:39:46.660 --> 00:39:48.600
 by

00:39:48.600 --> 00:39:48.800
 the

00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:49.280
 instruction

00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:49.560
 of

00:39:49.560 --> 00:39:49.900
 Joseph

00:39:49.900 --> 00:39:52.320
 you

00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:52.580
 will

00:39:52.580 --> 00:39:53.080
 sit

00:39:53.080 --> 00:39:54.360
 where

00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:54.520
 he

00:39:54.520 --> 00:39:54.820
 tells

00:39:54.820 --> 00:39:54.940
 you

00:39:54.940 --> 00:39:55.100
 to

00:39:55.100 --> 00:39:55.400
 sit

00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:58.540
 look

00:39:58.540 --> 00:39:58.680
 how

00:39:58.680 --> 00:39:58.860
 he

00:39:58.860 --> 00:39:59.140
 seats

00:39:59.140 --> 00:39:59.440
 them

00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:01.720
 from

00:40:01.720 --> 00:40:01.940
 the

00:40:01.940 --> 00:40:02.240
 first

00:40:02.240 --> 00:40:02.740
 born

00:40:02.740 --> 00:40:04.520
 according

00:40:04.520 --> 00:40:04.760
 to

00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:04.940
 his

00:40:04.940 --> 00:40:05.220
 birth

00:40:05.220 --> 00:40:05.640
 right

00:40:05.640 --> 00:40:07.140
 to

00:40:07.140 --> 00:40:07.380
 the

00:40:07.380 --> 00:40:07.960
 youngest

00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:09.480
 according

00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:09.700
 to

00:40:09.700 --> 00:40:09.900
 his

00:40:09.900 --> 00:40:10.320
 youth

00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:12.040
 and

00:40:12.040 --> 00:40:12.220
 the

00:40:12.220 --> 00:40:12.660
 men

00:40:12.660 --> 00:40:13.680
 look

00:40:13.680 --> 00:40:14.060
 at

00:40:14.060 --> 00:40:14.400
 one

00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:14.860
 another

00:40:14.860 --> 00:40:15.540
 in

00:40:15.540 --> 00:40:16.220
 astonishment

00:40:16.220 --> 00:40:17.060
 just

00:40:17.060 --> 00:40:17.900
 pause

00:40:17.900 --> 00:40:18.180
 there

00:40:18.180 --> 00:40:20.260
 how

00:40:20.260 --> 00:40:21.200
 in

00:40:21.200 --> 00:40:21.520
 the

00:40:21.520 --> 00:40:22.280
 world

00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:23.080
 did

00:40:23.080 --> 00:40:23.820
 he

00:40:23.820 --> 00:40:24.920
 know

00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:26.200
 this

00:40:26.200 --> 00:40:27.620
 coincidence

00:40:27.620 --> 00:40:29.180
 nope

00:40:29.180 --> 00:40:31.040
 verse

00:40:31.040 --> 00:40:31.420
 34

00:40:31.420 --> 00:40:34.680
 then

00:40:34.680 --> 00:40:34.700
 then

00:40:34.700 --> 00:40:36.220
 he

00:40:36.220 --> 00:40:36.480
 took

00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:37.140
 portions

00:40:37.140 --> 00:40:37.500
 to

00:40:37.500 --> 00:40:37.920
 them

00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:38.960
 from

00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:39.180
 his

00:40:39.180 --> 00:40:39.460
 own

00:40:39.460 --> 00:40:39.800
 table

00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:40.360
 okay

00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:40.800
 so

00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:41.380
 Joseph

00:40:41.380 --> 00:40:41.580
 is

00:40:41.580 --> 00:40:42.040
 taking

00:40:42.040 --> 00:40:42.240
 the

00:40:42.240 --> 00:40:42.560
 food

00:40:42.560 --> 00:40:43.480
 the

00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:44.140
 really
