Genesis 45:1-28
In the reunion of Joseph with his brothers, there is a great testimony to the God of grace: ‘Do not be distressed... because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life... God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. So it was not you who sent me here, but God... God has made me lord of all Egypt' (5,7-9). Joseph was the pioneer. He went ahead of the others. He paved the way for them. Jesus is ‘the Pioneer of our salvation’. He will ‘bring many sons to glory’. He will welcome us as His ‘brothers’(Hebrews 2:10-12). Jesus is also the ‘Perfecter of our faith’(Hebrews 12:2). He is leading us to ‘a better country - a heavenly one’(Hebrews 11:16). Let ‘every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord’(Philippians 2:11). Let it begin here on earth.
