Genesis 42 : 36 - 43 : 14 Pastor Willie Behrends Jacob’s sons report back to him what happened in Egypt and, (as expected!) their father takes everything that has happened personally! God has struck him with yet another tragedy! We can learn some things (not to do!) from Jacob’s behavior… I – Jacob ___________________ within! (36 - 38) II – Jacob ___________________ in! (1 - 10) III – Jacob ___________________ in! (11 - 14) Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. Working together with God, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace [gift] of God in vain. For He says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, NOW is the favorable time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation.
