Joseph – In God's Hands | Week 9
HIS REDEMPTION IS PERFECT
Time has moved on, and the Israelites are now settled in Egypt, in the land of Goshen. Jacob, under Pharaoh’s protection, witnesses his family’s security and Joseph’s rise to power. But when Jacob finally dies, his sons fear that Joseph’s vengeance will finally fall upon them. In a picture of grace, Joseph reminds them that it is the Lord who has orchestrated all their journeys to Egypt, ultimately to redeem His people from starvation.
In this final message of the series, Pastor Craig Turnbull walks us through Genesis 50:15–26, where Joseph responds not with revenge—but with a stunning vision of God’s mercy and sovereignty. Even after everything the brothers did to him, Joseph assures them of his forgiveness, reveals God’s hand in their suffering, and speaks of a future hope in God’s greater redemption still to come.
Key Takeaways:
Redemption transforms fear into forgiveness: once restored, there is no need to return to guilt and shame.
Redemption transforms pain into comfort: even what others meant for harm, God intends for good.
Redemption transforms promises into hope: Joseph anchors the people’s future in God’s faithfulness and presence.
God’s perfect redemption not only frees us from guilt but turns suffering into purpose and future pain into confident hope. Jesus is our Redeemer, and like Joseph, His story points us to a greater story—where all things will be made new.
