When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "Perhaps Joseph will grudge us and fully repay us all the evil we have done to him." (Genesis 50:15)
Reading the Bible in a Year:
Exodus 23-25
New Life - A friend of mine suddenly strike to go to church. The reason? It turned out he was disappointed to see his family members that most churchgoing. "Every Sunday morning he went to church, but everyday at home to complain and worry continues to be his life. There's no difference to church or not. "Craft to church does not have an impact in their daily reality.
Something similar can be seen on Joseph's brothers. Has many years Joseph pronounce forgiveness, had been so long they feel best maintenance Joseph in the land of Egypt complete with various facilities ... turns out it does not really change them. Joseph's older brothers still see themselves as oppressors are deceitful, who sold her sister into slavery. So no wonder if after Jacob died, they returned to live in fear. They feared that Joseph, after his father died, turned to revenge on them.
The encounter with God is meant to transform ourselves. We're off the old man, and put on the new man, living in a new lifestyle. Furthermore, this new life impact should be felt by those nearby. When we receive the grace of forgiveness the Lord with all faith believe, should we abandon the old man who lives in fear and anxiety. Let us reliving our identity as a people who have been redeemed and continues to grow in His grace. -OLV
Live heartily as anyone who has received the redemption of God.
