Genesis 50, Mourning for Jacob

Gen 50:19-20, Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? BUT AS FOR YOU, YOU MEANT EVIL AGAINST ME; BUT GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD, in order to bring it about as it is this day, TO SAVE MANY PEOPLE ALIVE.

Joseph knew that that he had the power and authority to judge his brothers, but he left that to God! Joseph knew that “THEY SOLD HIM BECAUSE THEY HATED HIM, BUT ALSO KNEW GOD WAS IN FULL CONTROL OF THE SITUATION!

Rom 8:28, … ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD

Gen 50:21, NOW THEREFORE, DO NOT BE AFRAID; I WILL PROVIDE FOR YOU AND YOUR LITTLE ONES.” AND HE COMFORTED THEM AND SPOKE KINDLY TO THEM. 

Joseph is a type of Christ! We have sinned against almighty GOD, but JESUS put on human flesh and came down to Egypt (the world) in order to “SAVE MANY PEOPLE ALIVE” for Scripture says

Dan 9:26, And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF;

HE WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE OF OUR SINS; HE WAS TORTURED BECAUSE OF OUR INIQUITIES AND BY HIS STRIPS WE ARE HEALED! WE ARE CLEANSED BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS!
