Genesis 45

The story of Joseph continues the lineage of the people of Israel - God’s chosen people.  It is clear from beginning to end that God is more faithful to His people than they are to Him.  We will see, in the life and times of Joseph, that in God’s sovereign plan nothing is wasted.  In the end, our lives, like Joseph’s, will prove our great need for God’s salvation and that his plans and purposes for our lives are good.
