Gen 44:1-2, And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in the mouth of his sack. Also put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain money.” So he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
Joseph’s final test of his brothers! They sold him into slavery what would they do if the youngest brother gets taken as a slave in Egypt? Testing is a way the LORD uses to purify HIS servants!
Psa 11:5, The LORD tests the righteous…
Mal 3:3, He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the LORD An offering in righteousness.
Gen 44:33, Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad as a slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers.
Judah offers himself instead of his youngest brother! NO GREATER LOVE, ONE WHO LAYS DOWN HIS LIFE FOR ANOTHER! JOSEPH NOW KNOWS HIS BROTHERS HAVE CHANGED!
Eph 5:2, AND WALK IN LOVE, AS CHRIST ALSO HAS LOVED US AND GIVEN HIMSELF FOR US, AN OFFERING AND A SACRIFICE TO GOD FOR A SWEET-SMELLING AROMA.
