Class 2 from this series was used in GCT Episode 380.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:04,840 –> 00:00:08,880
\nI believe I made a mistake or
\ngot a little confused yesterday <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:09,120 –> 00:00:11,480
\nwhen I lost my notes at the
\nstart of the second session <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:11,480 –> 00:00:14,760
\ntalking about whether Judah had
\ntwo sons or three sons. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:15,000 –> 00:00:17,000
\nCan we be really clear?
\nHe had three. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:18,400 –> 00:00:24,400
\nTwo died, eh?
\nOnan, Sheila, apparently. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:24,400 –> 00:00:27,400
\nI couldn’t think of Onan, so
\nforgive me. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:27,400 –> 00:00:31,680
\nJust wanted to get that right.
\nAll right, where are we up to? <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:32,119 –> 00:00:37,560
\nWell, between me and our study
\nlast night, I think we’re <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:37,560 –> 00:00:42,160
\nbuilding a little bit of basis
\nor foundation or context to <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:42,160 –> 00:00:46,560
\nJudah’s life, some of the
\nbackground to the why he did the<\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:46,560 –> 00:00:51,400
\nthings that he did.
\nBut between Steve and I, we left<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:52,000 –> 00:01:00,720
\nJudah wallowing in the prodigal
\npig food through having to make <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:00,720 –> 00:01:05,880
\nthe decision, Is he going to
\npick his face up out of it and <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:05,880 –> 00:01:11,520
\nface a whole new day and a new
\nopportunity and a new life? <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:13,360 –> 00:01:16,840
\nOr is he going to get bitter and
\ntwisted like he has before? <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:17,800 –> 00:01:22,720
\nAnd like we can when things
\ndon’t go to plan, some of the <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:22,720 –> 00:01:29,920
\nbiggest choices we make is how
\nwe respond to situations like <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:29,920 –> 00:01:32,960
\nthis.
\nYou know that we are never past <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:32,960 –> 00:01:37,600
\nthe point of no return until you
\nor I choose to be past that <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:37,600 –> 00:01:41,440
\npoint of no return.
\nJust grasp that God doesn’t give<\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:41,440 –> 00:01:44,320
\nup on you.
\nYou’re the one that gives up on <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:44,320 –> 00:01:45,520
\nHim.
\nAnd then he goes, well, there’s <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:45,520 –> 00:01:49,720
\nnothing I can do.
\nGet that clear in your mind. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:51,240 –> 00:01:55,400
\nWe are never past the point of
\nno return until we choose to be <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:55,400 –> 00:02:01,080
\npast that point of no return.
\nAnd Judas at that crossroads, <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:02,360 –> 00:02:06,840
\nhe’s got to look up and see the
\nopportunity to move forward, to <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:06,840 –> 00:02:16,160
\nsee a way to deal with his
\npride, to swallow his pride and <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:16,160 –> 00:02:18,720
\nall the embarrassment that comes
\nwith that. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:19,640 –> 00:02:21,760
\nAnd often there’s two ways that
\nwe respond to these kind of <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:21,760 –> 00:02:25,400
\nsituations when God’s Providence
\nbrings us to that point where <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:25,400 –> 00:02:30,400
\nit’s ground us so small that we
\nfeel so embarrassed that we feel<\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:30,400 –> 00:02:33,400
\nlike we can’t recover.
\nYou know, there’s 2 examples <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:33,400 –> 00:02:35,440
\nthat I missed talking about
\nyesterday that I want to make <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:35,440 –> 00:02:42,440
\nthe point clearly to you about.
\nJudah in his past blamed people.<\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:42,800 –> 00:02:45,520
\nOther people blamed
\ncircumstances. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:46,960 –> 00:02:55,640
\nSamson made jokes of it, and
\nboth of those responses to the <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:55,640 –> 00:03:01,160
\nProvidence and the way God works
\nin our life doesn’t help you or <\/p>\n
39
\n00:03:01,160 –> 00:03:05,720
\nme.
\nAll Samson’s jokes did was make <\/p>\n
40
\n00:03:05,720 –> 00:03:10,000
\nthe problem bigger for him, and
\nall Judah’s response of blaming <\/p>\n
41
\n00:03:10,000 –> 00:03:12,720
\npeople and other things did was
\nmake him more bitter. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:12,720 –> 00:03:19,360
\nDon’t do it.
\nDon’t do it. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:20,080 –> 00:03:24,680
\nIt’s not the answer.
\nJudith thought about the <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:24,680 –> 00:03:27,080
\nsituation that he found himself
\nin. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:28,200 –> 00:03:34,280
\nThoroughly, deeply reflected on
\nthat situation, and as a result,<\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:34,280 –> 00:03:39,840
\nGod was able to work with him
\nbecause he faced the situations.<\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:41,960 –> 00:03:44,200
\nThat’s how God works with us.
\nThat’s how he develops that <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:44,200 –> 00:03:49,760
\ncharacter.
\nGod breaks us sometimes so that <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:49,760 –> 00:03:54,720
\nHe’s able to then rebuild us
\nthrough that process. <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:54,880 –> 00:03:58,240
\nHe doesn’t break you for fun.
\nHe does not enjoy doing that. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:58,560 –> 00:04:03,640
\nHe actually breaks the barriers
\nthat you’ve built that stop Him <\/p>\n
52
\n00:04:03,640 –> 00:04:06,480
\nworking in your life.
\nHe’s going to break them down, <\/p>\n
53
\n00:04:07,200 –> 00:04:10,800
\nand He does it so carefully, so
\nprecisely. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:04:11,480 –> 00:04:14,800
\nHe breaks down that bit of the
\nwall and that brick, just not <\/p>\n
55
\n00:04:14,800 –> 00:04:19,120
\nthat bit that needed to remain
\nso that He could rebuild you or <\/p>\n
56
\n00:04:19,120 –> 00:04:24,320
\nSamson or Judah.
\nSo when we have major events <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:24,600 –> 00:04:28,520
\nhappen in our life, don’t make a
\njoke of it. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:29,680 –> 00:04:32,080
\nI’ve done it.
\nI know it’s a classic thing to <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:32,080 –> 00:04:36,000
\ndo when you’re young is to laugh
\nabout an accident you might have<\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:36,000 –> 00:04:40,600
\nhad or some event where
\nsomething went terribly wrong. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:40,600 –> 00:04:43,000
\nYou make a big joke about it.
\nDon’t go that approach. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:44,120 –> 00:04:46,680
\nThink deeply.
\nLet’s learn from Judah, and <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:46,680 –> 00:04:50,720
\nhopefully we don’t have to fall
\nas far or as deep or suffer as <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:50,720 –> 00:04:53,880
\nmuch as what Judah had to to
\nlearn this lesson. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:54,280 –> 00:04:57,080
\nSo how old’s Judah?
\nHe’s like 50 now. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:59,200 –> 00:05:02,000
\nAnd it’s ironic to think that
\nJudah has just come crashing <\/p>\n
67
\n00:05:02,000 –> 00:05:04,440
\ndown to the lowest point of his
\nlife. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:05:04,720 –> 00:05:09,600
\nAnd guess where Joseph is?
\nHe’s coming to the climax of his<\/p>\n
69
\n00:05:09,600 –> 00:05:12,400
\nlife.
\nIt’s funny how their two lives <\/p>\n
70
\n00:05:12,400 –> 00:05:14,480
\nsort of crossover and go the
\nopposite direction. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:14,680 –> 00:05:16,480
\nYou can look at your chart,
\nunderstand the dates. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:16,480 –> 00:05:19,160
\nYes, he’s getting old and get
\nthat fine. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:19,600 –> 00:05:22,080
\nLearn those lessons before you
\nget to that age, maybe. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:24,040 –> 00:05:26,560
\nBut when you think about the
\nfact that we’re now going to <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:26,720 –> 00:05:29,600
\nrush through a number of
\nchapters, we’re going to do the <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:29,600 –> 00:05:31,960
\ntwo journeys down into Egypt and
\nthe final speech. <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:32,720 –> 00:05:36,920
\nWhen you think about Judith’s
\nreaction to this situation, <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:36,920 –> 00:05:43,120
\nbecause his first trip down to
\nEgypt, Judas says nothing, He is<\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:43,120 –> 00:05:45,680
\nsilent.
\nWhy is he silent? <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:47,760 –> 00:05:51,520
\nBecause he’s reflecting.
\nHe’s thinking. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:53,200 –> 00:05:57,080
\nAnd I want you to grasp the fact
\nthat God hasn’t finished showing<\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:57,080 –> 00:06:00,960
\nhim stuff.
\nThe learning process didn’t just<\/p>\n
83
\n00:06:00,960 –> 00:06:03,680
\nhappen in that one embarrassing
\nmoment. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:06:04,040 –> 00:06:06,360
\nThe learning process was going
\nto take a little bit longer <\/p>\n
85
\n00:06:06,360 –> 00:06:09,800
\nbecause remember, Tamar had
\nstarted to show she hadn’t had a<\/p>\n
86
\n00:06:09,800 –> 00:06:12,040
\nbaby yet.
\nThat was still going to happen. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:06:12,240 –> 00:06:15,080
\nHe was going to learn when he’s
\nlike, heck, I’ve got twins, not <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:15,080 –> 00:06:17,800
\njust one child.
\nAnd then he’s going to learn a <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:17,800 –> 00:06:21,760
\nlot in this first journey down
\nto Egypt. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:21,760 –> 00:06:27,320
\nAnd that’s how God works.
\nGod works with us, unraveling <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:27,600 –> 00:06:33,280
\nand showing us more as we
\nrespond and as we think about <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:33,280 –> 00:06:35,000
\nthe things that He’s teaching
\nus. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:35,400 –> 00:06:38,600
\nWhat do you think about that?
\nBecause Judah is watching, Judah<\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:38,600 –> 00:06:42,120
\nis observing, and Judah is
\nlearning from what God is going <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:42,120 –> 00:06:44,920
\nto show him in these next two
\nchapters. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:45,280 –> 00:06:48,160
\nBecause this first trip to Egypt
\nis strange. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:48,520 –> 00:06:51,880
\nIt’s weird.
\nThere’s some really unusual <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:51,880 –> 00:06:55,640
\nconfronting things that happen.
\nI’m going to give you 3 <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:55,640 –> 00:06:57,360
\nexamples.
\nThere’s a heck of a lot more, <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:57,760 –> 00:07:00,240
\nOK?
\nThese three examples demonstrate<\/p>\n
101
\n00:07:00,240 –> 00:07:03,840
\nthe way that God’s refining
\nprocess continues beyond the <\/p>\n
102
\n00:07:04,480 –> 00:07:08,640
\nmoment, beyond that impact
\nmoment of when something hits US<\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:08,640 –> 00:07:11,400
\nin life and we realize God’s
\nteaching us something. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:11,760 –> 00:07:16,120
\nThat’s the time that we need to
\njust shut up and watch. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:17,280 –> 00:07:23,680
\nLook, listen, think.
\nThis first trip down to Egypt, <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:23,680 –> 00:07:25,400
\nthere was many strange things
\nthat happened. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:25,760 –> 00:07:31,080
\nThe first thing is that this
\ncrazy ruler who’s in Egypt is so<\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:31,080 –> 00:07:35,800
\nfocused on these men, whether
\nthey’re true men, whether <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:35,800 –> 00:07:42,880
\nthey’re honest or whether they
\nare spies that have an ulterior <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:43,320 –> 00:07:45,360
\nmotive.
\nThat’s what spies are. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:45,960 –> 00:07:49,960
\nThey fake it that they are
\nblending with everybody else as <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:49,960 –> 00:07:56,200
\na normal person when really they
\nhave an evil alternative motive.<\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:56,400 –> 00:07:57,680
\nAnd that’s what Judy used to
\nhave. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:59,720 –> 00:08:01,920
\nAnd that’s why Joseph uses his
\nstrategy. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:08:02,160 –> 00:08:05,520
\nIt’s in it’s incredible.
\nI genuinely personally believe <\/p>\n
116
\n00:08:05,520 –> 00:08:09,480
\nthat God directed Joseph to use
\nthis strategy. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:09,480 –> 00:08:12,240
\nI can’t prove that I’d love to,
\nbut I can’t. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:12,560 –> 00:08:16,520
\nBut just these genius that
\nJoseph used is is wow. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:18,560 –> 00:08:21,720
\nSo he proved wants them to prove
\nthat they are true men and what <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:21,720 –> 00:08:25,760
\nbetter way than to put them on
\nthe spot and accuse them of <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:25,760 –> 00:08:28,960
\nbeing spots because how do you
\nprove you’re not a spy? <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:30,600 –> 00:08:33,640
\nYou have to tell the truth.
\nMore than that, you’ve got to <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:33,640 –> 00:08:36,440
\nprove the truth.
\nYou’ve got to verify the truth. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:38,240 –> 00:08:40,480
\nSo that was one thing.
\nTruth and honesty was a key <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:40,480 –> 00:08:44,240
\nissue for Judah.
\nYou know, there’s another thing <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:44,240 –> 00:08:47,600
\nfor Judah is that he didn’t
\nreally have a healthy fear of <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:47,600 –> 00:08:49,360
\nGod.
\nHe didn’t have respect of God. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:49,520 –> 00:08:53,080
\nHe didn’t appreciate that there
\nis a God who was involved in his<\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:53,080 –> 00:08:59,160
\nlife, and he’s going to meet an
\nEgyptian ruler, an Egyptian <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:59,560 –> 00:09:06,120
\nruler who has a healthy respect
\nfor a God who’s involved in <\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:06,120 –> 00:09:10,160
\nevery aspect of his Egyptian
\nlife. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:12,480 –> 00:09:15,120
\nNow we can go, well, which
\nEgyptian God is he talking <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:15,120 –> 00:09:17,520
\nabout?
\nThis rule is incredible. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:17,880 –> 00:09:20,400
\nHe says.
\nI’m talking about the God of <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:20,400 –> 00:09:24,520
\nyour dad, Judah, and that would
\nhave freaked him out. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:25,480 –> 00:09:31,360
\nWhy is this ruler in Egypt
\ntalking about my dad’s God? <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:34,440 –> 00:09:36,040
\nSee, there’s some really unusual
\nstuff. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:36,040 –> 00:09:37,480
\nWe don’t have time to look at
\nthis chapter properly. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:37,480 –> 00:09:39,800
\nWe just got to gloss through it.
\nIt was giving you three things. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:40,000 –> 00:09:42,000
\nBut this would have just hit
\njudo. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:42,400 –> 00:09:47,320
\nAnd he would have been like,
\nwhat am I meant to take from <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:47,320 –> 00:09:50,840
\nthat?
\nWhy am I being challenged to <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:50,840 –> 00:09:56,440
\nrepeatedly say I’m a true man?
\nI’m honest. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:56,880 –> 00:10:01,960
\nI wouldn’t do that.
\nThe simple reason is that wasn’t<\/p>\n
145
\n00:10:01,960 –> 00:10:04,320
\nhis reputation or his historical
\nway of life. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:10:05,800 –> 00:10:08,960
\nSee how he’s really being
\nchallenged and God is really <\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:09,120 –> 00:10:13,280
\nkeeping the pressure on.
\nI mean, this is almost a year <\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:13,280 –> 00:10:16,280
\nlater at best, maybe two to
\nthree years. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:16,280 –> 00:10:21,080
\nLooking at the time frames.
\nThere’s one other thing. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:23,280 –> 00:10:26,520
\nThis whole trip down to Egypt is
\nfull of money issues. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:26,520 –> 00:10:33,320
\nAnd that was a problem for Judah
\nin his life too, because they’d <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:33,320 –> 00:10:35,440
\ncome down to pay for things and
\nthen they’d find their money was<\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:35,440 –> 00:10:37,160
\nback in their sacks.
\nBut not just that. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:37,440 –> 00:10:40,520
\nThe the servant would say to
\nthem, I’ve got your money. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:42,360 –> 00:10:44,800
\nBut then he’d say things like,
\nno, God put treasure in your <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:44,800 –> 00:10:50,520
\nsacks.
\nAnd Judah would be thinking. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:50,920 –> 00:10:55,800
\nAnd that’s what I’m encouraging
\nyou to do to young people when <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:55,800 –> 00:10:57,360
\nsomething major happens in your
\nlife. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:57,360 –> 00:10:59,760
\nJust don’t close that door and
\nmove on. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:11:01,760 –> 00:11:05,560
\nKeep watching.
\nKeep listening to what God is <\/p>\n
161
\n00:11:05,560 –> 00:11:09,280
\nshowing you because He’ll show
\nyou the new path forward. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:09,280 –> 00:11:11,600
\nHe’ll show you the new way.
\nYou’ve got to listen. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:12,840 –> 00:11:18,600
\nDon’t make a joke about it.
\nListen carefully and think about<\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:18,600 –> 00:11:24,160
\nwhat He is trying to show you.
\nAll right, so let’s continue on <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:24,160 –> 00:11:26,080
\nbecause I don’t really have time
\nto spend any more time there. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:27,920 –> 00:11:29,640
\nWell, no, we do.
\nWe’ve got to talk about one more<\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:29,640 –> 00:11:30,880
\nthing because it’s relevant for
\nlater. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:30,880 –> 00:11:34,440
\nSorry, Chapter 42, the real lap
\nin verse 16. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:34,680 –> 00:11:38,960
\nThis is part of his genius.
\nSo the way that Joseph works, <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:40,800 –> 00:11:44,560
\nthe first thing he does is he
\nputs these three men, oh, sorry,<\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:45,200 –> 00:11:50,600
\nputs these ten men in prison for
\nthree days after accusing them <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:50,600 –> 00:11:53,320
\nthat they’re spies.
\nWhy would you do that? <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:55,480 –> 00:12:00,120
\nYou’ve put them on the spot and
\nsaid you’re dishonest, and now I<\/p>\n
174
\n00:12:00,120 –> 00:12:03,120
\nattract you in prison for three
\ndays so you can figure out <\/p>\n
175
\n00:12:03,120 –> 00:12:06,320
\nwhether that’s the case.
\nWhat do you think the <\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:06,320 –> 00:12:10,280
\nconversation would be in that
\nprison for those three days? <\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:14,000 –> 00:12:18,480
\nIt would start with, who do you
\nthink is the one that we could <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:18,480 –> 00:12:22,640
\ntrust to send back home to the
\nfamily while all the rest of us <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:22,640 –> 00:12:25,600
\nstay here in this filthy prison?
\nThat’s the first conversation. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:26,720 –> 00:12:29,080
\nAnd that would quickly lead to I
\ndon’t trust you. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:29,080 –> 00:12:31,200
\nYou did that.
\nI don’t trust you because you <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:31,200 –> 00:12:32,960
\ndid that.
\nAnd we can’t trust those two <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:32,960 –> 00:12:36,160
\nbecause they and the blame game
\nstarts. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:36,160 –> 00:12:38,880
\nAnd when the blame game starts,
\nwhat comes next? <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:38,880 –> 00:12:42,840
\nA bit of anger, a bit of
\nbitterness, all the resentment <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:42,840 –> 00:12:44,400
\nand all the dirt starts pouring
\nout. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:45,840 –> 00:12:50,480
\nAnd these boys had three days to
\nchat about who amongst the ten <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:50,480 –> 00:12:57,560
\nof them they could actually
\ntrust and be Judah for a second.<\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:58,320 –> 00:13:01,680
\nHe’s got to own this moment.
\nHe’s got to stand there and go, <\/p>\n
190
\n00:13:01,680 –> 00:13:06,320
\ndo you know what?
\nI’ve changed and I want to be <\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:06,320 –> 00:13:10,600
\ndifferent, but I have 0
\ncredibility. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:13,880 –> 00:13:18,520
\nI probably could be trusted to
\ngo home, but they wouldn’t trust<\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:18,520 –> 00:13:19,240
\nme.
\nAnd that’s fair. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:20,960 –> 00:13:23,560
\nThree days later, Joseph comes
\ndown and brings them up out of <\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:23,560 –> 00:13:25,600
\nprison.
\nHe says, listen, the rules have <\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:25,600 –> 00:13:28,000
\nchanged.
\nYou’re all going home, but one <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:28,000 –> 00:13:30,240
\nof you staying.
\nWhy does he do that? <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:30,680 –> 00:13:32,280
\nDoesn’t even give him a chance
\nto speak. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:32,760 –> 00:13:36,320
\nHe says if you’re honest, he
\ndidn’t even say that If you’re <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:36,320 –> 00:13:37,920
\nhonest, he’s emphasizing this
\nidea. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:38,160 –> 00:13:41,120
\nHe says if you’re true men,
\nwhich she’s heard for the last <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:41,120 –> 00:13:43,040
\nthree days.
\nBecause I so believe that Joseph<\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:43,040 –> 00:13:44,680
\nwould have gone down and just
\nstood around the corner and <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:44,680 –> 00:13:47,320
\nlistened to those arguments.
\nThat would have been insightful.<\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:48,360 –> 00:13:51,280
\nReally insightful.
\nBetter than what you get. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:51,280 –> 00:14:00,000
\nOne of my friends left on leave,
\none of your brothers here while <\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:00,000 –> 00:14:02,520
\nthe rest of you go home.
\nOh, that’s different. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:03,800 –> 00:14:06,960
\nThe brother you would send home
\nis not the brother you’d leave <\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:06,960 –> 00:14:09,040
\nto languish in an Egyptian
\nprison. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:09,400 –> 00:14:11,840
\nThat’s the guy you hate, and the
\none you send home is the one you<\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:11,840 –> 00:14:15,360
\nlike.
\nSee how he’s just created both <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:15,360 –> 00:14:19,360
\nemotions to get exposed amongst
\nthose brothers? <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:20,560 –> 00:14:26,080
\nWho do they even have a wedge of
\nfaith about in contrast to? <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:26,080 –> 00:14:29,360
\nWho do they hold bitterness and
\nresentment against? <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:30,120 –> 00:14:32,800
\nAnd in that process, Judah opens
\nup and goes, I wish we never <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:32,800 –> 00:14:35,240
\nactually sold Joseph and Jude’s
\nlike, or Joseph’s like. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:35,280 –> 00:14:41,920
\nOh, interesting.
\nAnd so he chooses to bind Simeon<\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:41,920 –> 00:14:44,760
\nbecause he’s the next eldest and
\nhe knows Simeon’s personality <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:44,760 –> 00:14:47,280
\nquite well.
\nAnd so he binds Simeon right <\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:47,280 –> 00:14:51,520
\nthere in front of their eyes.
\nNow I ask you, 10 brothers saw <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:51,520 –> 00:14:57,200
\nanother brother bound in front
\nof their eyes 22 years ago. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:57,680 –> 00:15:00,840
\nDo you think that came into
\ntheir mind as he deliberately <\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:01,160 –> 00:15:09,160
\nbound Simeon in front of their
\neyes and then put him into an <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:09,200 –> 00:15:16,280
\nEgyptian prison and said you’re
\ngood to go guys, enjoy life. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:19,960 –> 00:15:22,720
\nCan you imagine those feelings?
\nYou’ve got to think about that. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:25,880 –> 00:15:32,120
\nWell, Judah would watch as his
\nblood brother Simeon is put in <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:32,120 –> 00:15:36,840
\nprison.
\nHe looked up to that guy in his <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:36,840 –> 00:15:41,680
\npast, but you know, this time
\nhe’s not resentful about it <\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:41,680 –> 00:15:45,640
\nbecause he knows that sometimes
\nwe have to go through those <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:45,640 –> 00:15:51,160
\nprocesses to learn.
\nHe’s also going to watch his dad<\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:51,160 –> 00:15:54,560
\ntrade off Simeon and leave
\nSimeon in prison for well over a<\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:54,560 –> 00:15:58,880
\nyear while Simeon’s family’s at
\nhome starving without a dad. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:59,080 –> 00:16:02,280
\nThey’re going to Jacob is going
\nto leave Simeon in that prison <\/p>\n
234
\n00:16:02,280 –> 00:16:06,040
\nfor over a year because he’s not
\nwilling to send that beloved <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:06,040 –> 00:16:09,320
\nBenjamin down to release Simeon
\nto come back to his family. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:10,560 –> 00:16:13,600
\nAnd Judah could have got angry.
\nHe did last time. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:15,920 –> 00:16:22,800
\nHe could have got resentful of
\nthat, but Judah knows what it’s <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:22,800 –> 00:16:30,680
\nlike to protect your youngest
\nson now because he did that for <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:30,680 –> 00:16:37,400
\nSheila and made Tamar wait for a
\nnumber of years. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:40,480 –> 00:16:42,800
\nHe knows what it’s like to be on
\nthe side of that fence. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:44,480 –> 00:16:52,640
\nHe has empathy not just for his
\ndad, but for Simeon’s family, <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:53,920 –> 00:16:57,120
\nfor Simeon, because he knows
\nthat Simeon needs to learn <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:57,720 –> 00:17:00,440
\nthrough that process.
\nAnd have a look at chapter 43 <\/p>\n
244
\n00:17:00,440 –> 00:17:03,400
\nand at verse one, it says now
\nthe famine was severe in the <\/p>\n
245
\n00:17:03,400 –> 00:17:05,960
\nland.
\nOh, OK, no doubt we know that. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:17:06,319 –> 00:17:10,880
\nWhy are we told, in case you
\nmiss the fact that life is <\/p>\n
247
\n00:17:10,880 –> 00:17:13,040
\ndifficult, that’s what that
\nverse is saying. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:17:13,400 –> 00:17:16,920
\nLife in the land for Jacob was
\nnot easy. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:17:17,400 –> 00:17:20,880
\nThat’s the food, including the
\nrelationship challenges. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:17:21,040 –> 00:17:23,720
\nWhat were the problems that came
\nto pass when they’d eaten up all<\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:23,720 –> 00:17:26,119
\nthe corn and there was a lot
\nthat Joseph sent back with them <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:26,119 –> 00:17:27,280
\nthat they’d brought out of
\nEgypt. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:27,440 –> 00:17:33,120
\nTheir dad says to them, go again
\nand just bias a little bit. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:34,000 –> 00:17:35,800
\nWhat?
\nThey’re in a famine. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:36,520 –> 00:17:39,120
\nThey’re 400 kilometers away from
\nwhere the food is. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:39,280 –> 00:17:42,560
\nWhy would you go down and buy a
\nlittle bit of food? <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:43,360 –> 00:17:46,120
\nThat’s dumb.
\nYou need a little bit of food <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:46,120 –> 00:17:52,240
\njust to get back.
\nWhat is Jacob doing? <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:53,360 –> 00:17:56,360
\nHe’s delaying.
\nVerse 10 tells us that Jacob is <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:56,360 –> 00:17:58,280
\ndelaying.
\nJudah picks him up on this and <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:58,280 –> 00:18:03,280
\nsays you’re delaying Dad.
\nHe’s delaying sending Benjamin <\/p>\n
262
\n00:18:03,920 –> 00:18:07,080
\nbecause he knows the problem to
\nget more food, I have to send <\/p>\n
263
\n00:18:07,080 –> 00:18:10,080
\nBenjamin.
\nDon’t care about Simeon left in <\/p>\n
264
\n00:18:10,080 –> 00:18:14,560
\nprison, not sending Benjamin.
\nSo, So boys, how about if you go<\/p>\n
265
\n00:18:14,560 –> 00:18:19,840
\nlike some back door and try and
\njust get a bit, just a little. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:18:21,040 –> 00:18:22,320
\nAnd that’s what Judah’s dealing
\nwith. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:22,560 –> 00:18:26,480
\nHe’s dealing with a dad that’s
\nSyrian, a dad that’s a little <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:26,480 –> 00:18:32,360
\nbit willing to bend the rules.
\nAnd what’s Judah’s response? <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:33,760 –> 00:18:41,240
\nIt doesn’t work like that.
\nDad where oddest men. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:43,680 –> 00:18:45,080
\nAnd that’s what we’re going to
\nsee from Judah. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:46,080 –> 00:18:48,080
\nHe’s not going to let his dad
\npush him around. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:51,280 –> 00:18:52,800
\nOh, we’re not up to verse 8.
\nHang on. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:53,080 –> 00:18:54,760
\nSorry.
\nLet’s read the contact. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:54,760 –> 00:18:56,880
\nLet’s read the verses, chapter
\n43. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:59,040 –> 00:19:01,960
\nJudah’s response is in verse 3.
\nSo circle that because this is <\/p>\n
276
\n00:19:01,960 –> 00:19:04,960
\nJudah taking the lead, right?
\nHe said nothing in the first <\/p>\n
277
\n00:19:04,960 –> 00:19:07,920
\ntrip down to Egypt, but now
\nwe’re just going to see him come<\/p>\n
278
\n00:19:07,920 –> 00:19:12,400
\nto the front constantly.
\nJacob says go down, buy us a <\/p>\n
279
\n00:19:12,400 –> 00:19:15,920
\nlittle bit of food in verse 2,
\nverse 3, But Judah steps up in <\/p>\n
280
\n00:19:15,920 –> 00:19:19,240
\nfront of all the other brothers
\nand he says, dad, the man <\/p>\n
281
\n00:19:19,240 –> 00:19:21,640
\nseriously and solemnly warned
\nus. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:22,000 –> 00:19:26,520
\nThat means he repeatedly said
\nyou will not see my face unless <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:26,520 –> 00:19:30,560
\nyour brother is with you.
\nSo Dad, it’s like this. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:32,040 –> 00:19:42,400
\nIf you send ow, our brother, oh,
\nnot your son, not that guy, not <\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:42,400 –> 00:19:48,320
\nBenjamin our brother.
\nIf you send our brother with us,<\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:49,600 –> 00:19:53,200
\nwe’ll go down and we’ll buy food
\nfor you. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:54,000 –> 00:19:58,800
\nSee the way he puts that?
\nSee, his emphasis, he’s uniting <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:58,800 –> 00:20:02,320
\nhim and his brothers on the same
\nplatform but focus or the same <\/p>\n
289
\n00:20:02,320 –> 00:20:06,360
\nlevel, but focusing on what his
\nfather needs. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:20:06,360 –> 00:20:08,040
\nAnd they’re key things that
\nwe’re going to see through this <\/p>\n
291
\n00:20:08,040 –> 00:20:10,720
\nchapter.
\nAnd then he’s straight verse 5. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:20:10,720 –> 00:20:15,400
\nBut in case you missed the
\npoint, Dad, if you will not send<\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:15,400 –> 00:20:21,800
\nhim, we will not go.
\nBecause the man was straight to <\/p>\n
294
\n00:20:21,800 –> 00:20:24,160
\nus.
\nHe said it as it is and he said <\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:24,160 –> 00:20:27,600
\nyou will not see my face unless
\nyour brother is with you. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:20:27,600 –> 00:20:31,680
\nYou know, we could have
\ncondensed those 3 verses into <\/p>\n
297
\n00:20:31,680 –> 00:20:34,920
\none verse if I was telling the
\nstory. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:20:35,840 –> 00:20:37,400
\nAnd this is the power of the
\nBible. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:37,680 –> 00:20:41,240
\nYou got to read all that double
\nrepeated emphasis that’s there <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:41,240 –> 00:20:43,040
\nand understand what we’re being
\ntold. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:44,480 –> 00:20:49,760
\nJudas being so clear,
\nrespectfully, straight with his <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:49,760 –> 00:20:54,360
\ndad, here’s the issues, here’s
\nthe problem, and this is the way<\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:54,360 –> 00:20:57,240
\nforward, dad.
\nAnd look at the way Israel <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:57,240 –> 00:21:00,960
\nresponds.
\nIsrael, Judah, we won’t go into <\/p>\n
305
\n00:21:00,960 –> 00:21:04,320
\nthe Y or Jacob, we won’t go into
\nY, the different titles. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:21:05,440 –> 00:21:11,800
\nJacob responds and says why did
\nyou bring all this trouble on me<\/p>\n
307
\n00:21:11,800 –> 00:21:14,640
\nby telling the guy that you had
\nanother brother? <\/p>\n
308
\n00:21:16,800 –> 00:21:19,120
\nCan you hear him?
\nHe’s whinging. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:21:20,040 –> 00:21:22,120
\nHe’s going.
\nWhy’d you tell the truth boys? <\/p>\n
310
\n00:21:22,240 –> 00:21:25,880
\nLike he should have just lied.
\nOK babe. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:21:27,200 –> 00:21:32,120
\nAnd that’s their response, verse
\n7, they all of them and feel <\/p>\n
312
\n00:21:32,120 –> 00:21:34,080
\nthis, this is a different
\nperson, each saying a statement.<\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:34,080 –> 00:21:36,480
\nThey, the man questioned us
\nthoroughly. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:36,480 –> 00:21:40,320
\nOne person would say and and as
\nabout ourselves and about our <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:40,320 –> 00:21:43,280
\nfamily, Someone else would say
\nsomeone else would say, is your <\/p>\n
316
\n00:21:43,280 –> 00:21:45,120
\nfather alive?
\nAnd someone else would say, what<\/p>\n
317
\n00:21:45,120 –> 00:21:47,920
\nabout your brother?
\nHe answered us this way. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:21:48,040 –> 00:21:50,560
\nHow could we possibly know that
\nhe was going to say bring your <\/p>\n
319
\n00:21:50,560 –> 00:21:53,400
\nbrother down?
\nCan you imagine that these ten <\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:53,400 –> 00:21:55,760
\nbrothers all chiming in going,
\nDad, you just can’t work like <\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:55,760 –> 00:22:00,240
\nthat.
\nBut who’s the leader in these <\/p>\n
322
\n00:22:00,240 –> 00:22:02,520
\nconversation?
\nJudah started it. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:22:02,800 –> 00:22:04,520
\nThey all chimed in when it was
\neasy. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:22:04,520 –> 00:22:06,800
\nSee his positive leadership.
\nNow who’s next? <\/p>\n
325
\n00:22:08,040 –> 00:22:12,120
\nVerse 8.
\nThen Judah said to his dad. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:22:14,200 –> 00:22:18,200
\nJudah’s the one who’s taking the
\nlead in this situation and his <\/p>\n
327
\n00:22:18,200 –> 00:22:21,000
\ngood leadership is helping his
\nbrothers to man up in the <\/p>\n
328
\n00:22:21,000 –> 00:22:23,080
\nprocess.
\nStick up on the screen. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:22:23,560 –> 00:22:26,440
\nJudah said to Israel, his
\nfather. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:22:26,440 –> 00:22:34,760
\nHe says, Dad, send the lad with
\nme. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:22:36,480 –> 00:22:43,720
\nThat guy’s over 30 years old.
\nHe’s no boy, but he prefers to <\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:43,720 –> 00:22:46,760
\nhim in a very loving, caring
\nway. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:48,760 –> 00:22:55,400
\nDad, send the lad, the lad that
\nyour whole life is wrapped up <\/p>\n
334
\n00:22:55,400 –> 00:23:02,160
\nin, send him with me and Jacob.
\nBut look at him and go. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:23:06,400 –> 00:23:12,360
\nAnd then he says we will arise
\nand go so that we, Dad, all of <\/p>\n
336
\n00:23:12,360 –> 00:23:14,600
\nus, may live and not die.
\nIt’s serious, Dad. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:23:14,640 –> 00:23:18,160
\nWe can’t muck around.
\nWe’re going to die if we don’t <\/p>\n
338
\n00:23:18,160 –> 00:23:20,080
\nact on this.
\nWe’ve delayed for long enough. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:23:22,240 –> 00:23:36,360
\nWe’ll go and get food for us and
\nyou and the little ones. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:23:37,400 –> 00:23:43,560
\nWho are those little ones?
\nThey’re the kids that Judah <\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:43,560 –> 00:23:55,320
\ndidn’t want to have, but they
\nplay an important part in his <\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:55,320 –> 00:23:59,960
\npriorities now.
\nHe didn’t want those twins, he <\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:59,960 –> 00:24:01,960
\ndidn’t expect them to come into
\nhis life. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:24:03,320 –> 00:24:06,320
\nAnd now he knows what it’s like
\nto love children that he never <\/p>\n
345
\n00:24:06,320 –> 00:24:10,040
\nintended or wanted to have.
\nLike his dad struggled with. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:24:10,520 –> 00:24:15,160
\nHe thought, and now he knows
\nthat dad actually didn’t <\/p>\n
347
\n00:24:15,160 –> 00:24:19,280
\nstruggle.
\nDad just didn’t have a life in <\/p>\n
348
\n00:24:19,280 –> 00:24:24,160
\nperspective.
\nDad was learning too. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:24:27,240 –> 00:24:35,720
\nAnd Judas growing up and he’s
\ndemonstrating empathy in the <\/p>\n
350
\n00:24:35,720 –> 00:24:37,920
\nsituation.
\nCan you see that? <\/p>\n
351
\n00:24:38,800 –> 00:24:41,720
\nJust the little details that are
\nwritten in, he couldn’t, he <\/p>\n
352
\n00:24:41,720 –> 00:24:45,160
\ndidn’t have to say that.
\nHe could have just talked about <\/p>\n
353
\n00:24:45,320 –> 00:24:48,160
\nwe’ll get food for all of us,
\nfor all the families. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:24:52,680 –> 00:24:57,080
\nWell, how can a judo respond or
\nso how can a Jacob respond to a <\/p>\n
355
\n00:24:57,080 –> 00:25:02,560
\nsituation like that?
\nYou know, I imagine Judah <\/p>\n
356
\n00:25:02,560 –> 00:25:05,760
\nstepping forward and being like
\nthat doting uncle who would <\/p>\n
357
\n00:25:05,760 –> 00:25:08,600
\nprovide for and look after his
\nyounger nephew or something like<\/p>\n
358
\n00:25:08,600 –> 00:25:10,000
\nthat.
\nThere’s quite an age difference <\/p>\n
359
\n00:25:10,000 –> 00:25:13,400
\nbetween the two of them.
\nJust imagine what it would be <\/p>\n
360
\n00:25:13,400 –> 00:25:19,080
\nlike.
\nAnd Judah says to his dad, he <\/p>\n
361
\n00:25:19,080 –> 00:25:25,200
\nsays, I myself, that’s ownership
\nrepeating it. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:25:25,800 –> 00:25:27,880
\nI’ll take it personally.
\nI’ll own every bit of this. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:25:28,720 –> 00:25:33,080
\nI’m going to pledge security for
\nhim. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:25:34,440 –> 00:25:40,840
\nYou can hold me liable if I do
\nnot bring him back to you and <\/p>\n
365
\n00:25:40,840 –> 00:25:43,680
\nplace him here before you.
\nI’ll bear that blame for the <\/p>\n
366
\n00:25:43,680 –> 00:25:46,480
\nrest of my life.
\nThere’s no wheeze in that, is <\/p>\n
367
\n00:25:46,480 –> 00:25:50,680
\nthere?
\nHe shares it all the other <\/p>\n
368
\n00:25:50,680 –> 00:25:55,040
\ntimes.
\nI’ll own this one bud. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:25:56,280 –> 00:26:01,360
\nIn fact Dad, I will pledge
\nsecurity of my life. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:26:01,760 –> 00:26:07,320
\nYou know, last time Judah
\npledged his identity and his <\/p>\n
371
\n00:26:07,320 –> 00:26:16,960
\nlife was for a one night stand
\nand now he’s doing it for the <\/p>\n
372
\n00:26:17,760 –> 00:26:28,520
\nnext most loved, favoured
\nbrother-in-law and he’s putting <\/p>\n
373
\n00:26:28,520 –> 00:26:35,000
\nhis life on the line for him and
\nhe’s saying I’ll bear the blame <\/p>\n
374
\n00:26:35,560 –> 00:26:37,000
\nto you Dad, for the rest of my
\nlife. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:26:37,000 –> 00:26:41,160
\nWhat’s the blame?
\nThe blame is he knows what he’s <\/p>\n
376
\n00:26:41,160 –> 00:26:43,720
\ndone before.
\nHe knows what’s happened to the <\/p>\n
377
\n00:26:43,720 –> 00:26:45,560
\nlast son.
\nWe can prove this context. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:26:45,560 –> 00:26:50,760
\nWe don’t have time to do it.
\nWe can see that all ten of those<\/p>\n
379
\n00:26:50,760 –> 00:26:55,240
\nolder brothers know that this is
\nhappening because of what they <\/p>\n
380
\n00:26:55,240 –> 00:26:57,760
\ndid to Joseph.
\nThey say that themselves. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:26:58,680 –> 00:27:01,680
\nI’ll give you the reference.
\nIt’s in chapter 42 and verse 21.<\/p>\n
382
\n00:27:01,840 –> 00:27:03,960
\nWe’re being punished because of
\nour brother, but we don’t want <\/p>\n
383
\n00:27:03,960 –> 00:27:05,200
\nto go there.
\nLet’s not get distracted. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:27:07,280 –> 00:27:10,280
\nThat’s all talk though.
\nAnd I want you to think about <\/p>\n
385
\n00:27:10,280 –> 00:27:12,960
\nthis.
\nJudas standing there saying that<\/p>\n
386
\n00:27:12,960 –> 00:27:17,280
\nto his dad, and that’s talk.
\nAnd Judas good at talking. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:27:19,000 –> 00:27:22,040
\nHe’s got to act, He’s got to
\nfollow through on this. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:27:22,280 –> 00:27:25,080
\nIt’s easy to stand there or sit
\nhere in these seats and make <\/p>\n
389
\n00:27:25,080 –> 00:27:27,640
\ncommitments about how we’re
\ngoing to respond when we get put<\/p>\n
390
\n00:27:27,640 –> 00:27:30,880
\nin the situation.
\nThat’s tough when you’re in the <\/p>\n
391
\n00:27:30,880 –> 00:27:32,400
\nsituation, it’s different,
\nright? <\/p>\n
392
\n00:27:32,520 –> 00:27:35,040
\nAnd that’s what we’re going to
\nsee in the rest of our study. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:27:36,360 –> 00:27:39,160
\nSo Jacob, in the typical Jacob
\nway, packs up a whole bunch of <\/p>\n
394
\n00:27:39,160 –> 00:27:41,560
\ngifts and says, all right, if
\nthat’s what it has to be, then <\/p>\n
395
\n00:27:41,560 –> 00:27:47,440
\ntake the gifts and and your
\nbrother and go and get us some <\/p>\n
396
\n00:27:47,480 –> 00:27:48,560
\nfood.
\nAnd the rest of the chapters <\/p>\n
397
\n00:27:48,560 –> 00:27:51,600
\nfilled out all that story of
\nthem packing up, preparing all <\/p>\n
398
\n00:27:51,600 –> 00:27:56,240
\nthese gifts, going down into
\nEgypt to face up to this <\/p>\n
399
\n00:27:56,240 –> 00:27:58,040
\nEgyptian rule.
\nAnd we know the story. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:27:58,200 –> 00:28:02,880
\nThe Egyptian ruler welcomes the
\nbrothers in and basically rolls <\/p>\n
401
\n00:28:02,880 –> 00:28:06,440
\nout the red carpet for them,
\nprovides for their camels and <\/p>\n
402
\n00:28:06,440 –> 00:28:09,280
\ntheir asses and washes their
\nfeet and brings them in for a <\/p>\n
403
\n00:28:09,280 –> 00:28:11,160
\nnice royal meal.
\nGreat times. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:28:11,400 –> 00:28:15,640
\nI mean, we’re in the final
\nverses of chapter 43, they sat <\/p>\n
405
\n00:28:15,640 –> 00:28:21,360
\ndown and verse 40 or chapter 44
\nthree and a verse 3 spit it out <\/p>\n
406
\n00:28:22,000 –> 00:28:32,680
\n43 verse 33 says they sat before
\nhim, arranged by order of birth,<\/p>\n
407
\n00:28:32,920 –> 00:28:36,480
\nbeginning with the first born
\nReuben and ending with the <\/p>\n
408
\n00:28:36,480 –> 00:28:39,400
\nyoungest Benjamin.
\nSo when you think about this, <\/p>\n
409
\n00:28:39,400 –> 00:28:41,680
\nwhy is this happening?
\nBecause the men looked at each <\/p>\n
410
\n00:28:41,680 –> 00:28:46,280
\nother at this moment in
\nastonishment, like how the heck <\/p>\n
411
\n00:28:46,600 –> 00:28:53,360
\ndoes an Egyptian know our age
\norder to see us all in that <\/p>\n
412
\n00:28:53,360 –> 00:28:57,680
\norder?
\nIs this guy magic? <\/p>\n
413
\n00:28:58,640 –> 00:29:00,960
\nCan he divine?
\nWhich is probably going through <\/p>\n
414
\n00:29:00,960 –> 00:29:02,960
\nyour head that talks about this
\nthing that Joseph says. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:29:02,960 –> 00:29:06,760
\nI can certainly divine.
\nJoseph’s not into black magic, <\/p>\n
416
\n00:29:06,760 –> 00:29:09,760
\nlet’s be really clear.
\nBut Egypt is. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:29:11,440 –> 00:29:16,120
\nSo Egypt talks like that, and
\nJoseph’s using the idea of I <\/p>\n
418
\n00:29:16,120 –> 00:29:19,840
\nknow stuff about you to freak
\nthese boys out. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:29:22,640 –> 00:29:26,080
\nHe’s saying I know your ages,
\nboys. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:29:26,880 –> 00:29:31,600
\nI know where you’ve been, I know
\nwhat you’re doing, and I know <\/p>\n
421
\n00:29:31,600 –> 00:29:33,880
\nwhat you’re thinking is what
\nwe’re going to see. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:29:36,480 –> 00:29:38,600
\nThat’s all he’s doing.
\nHe’s not actually saying he can <\/p>\n
423
\n00:29:38,600 –> 00:29:43,800
\ndo magic, but what he’s trying
\nto do is show them that he has <\/p>\n
424
\n00:29:43,920 –> 00:29:48,440
\nan all knowing understanding of
\ntheir life. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:29:50,200 –> 00:29:54,840
\nHe’s trying to help them
\nunderstand what God does in our <\/p>\n
426
\n00:29:54,840 –> 00:29:58,480
\nlife.
\nHe’s trying to make them aware <\/p>\n
427
\n00:29:59,240 –> 00:30:03,480
\nof an all powerful being that
\nhas a powerful influence and <\/p>\n
428
\n00:30:03,480 –> 00:30:09,720
\ncontrol over their life.
\nSo by these little events he’s <\/p>\n
429
\n00:30:09,720 –> 00:30:13,480
\ncreating his authority for
\nwhat’s going to happen with the <\/p>\n
430
\n00:30:13,480 –> 00:30:17,280
\ncup.
\nSo he lines them all up and <\/p>\n
431
\n00:30:18,560 –> 00:30:22,560
\nthere’s a whole load of good
\nfood, good wine, and at the end <\/p>\n
432
\n00:30:22,560 –> 00:30:27,200
\nthat favoured Benjamin Feller
\ngets five times as much stuff. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:30:28,080 –> 00:30:32,040
\nAnd 20 years ago all the
\nbrothers would have gone typical<\/p>\n
434
\n00:30:32,960 –> 00:30:36,320
\nand had a few words to say under
\ntheir breath, right? <\/p>\n
435
\n00:30:37,560 –> 00:30:39,800
\nNot this time.
\nAnd that’s what Joseph was <\/p>\n
436
\n00:30:39,800 –> 00:30:42,720
\ndoing.
\nHe was watching carefully as <\/p>\n
437
\n00:30:42,720 –> 00:30:46,240
\nthat food rolled out and as the
\nfive servant loads came and <\/p>\n
438
\n00:30:46,240 –> 00:30:49,040
\ndropped all the stuff in front
\nof Benjamin and kept pandering <\/p>\n
439
\n00:30:49,040 –> 00:30:52,600
\nto him and kept bringing him out
\nsome new special release of wine<\/p>\n
440
\n00:30:53,320 –> 00:30:57,520
\nand offering it to him first.
\nHe’s watching the rest of the <\/p>\n
441
\n00:30:57,520 –> 00:31:01,120
\nbrothers to go.
\nHe’s resentful about that. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:31:03,400 –> 00:31:07,480
\nNot a response.
\nBut growing up, it’s not just <\/p>\n
443
\n00:31:07,480 –> 00:31:12,320
\njudo, they’re all growing up.
\nThe problem is they drink a <\/p>\n
444
\n00:31:12,320 –> 00:31:15,160
\nlittle bit too much and, and
\nhey, let’s be fair, let’s be <\/p>\n
445
\n00:31:15,160 –> 00:31:18,360
\nreal.
\nJoseph hasn’t seen his brothers <\/p>\n
446
\n00:31:18,360 –> 00:31:23,120
\nfor 20 something years.
\nHe hasn’t had a birthday with <\/p>\n
447
\n00:31:23,120 –> 00:31:27,920
\nhis family for 2223, maybe 24
\nyears. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:31:28,120 –> 00:31:32,840
\nHe’s been hanging out for this
\ntime, but he can’t reveal <\/p>\n
449
\n00:31:32,840 –> 00:31:36,600
\nhimself yet.
\nBut he just wanted to spend some<\/p>\n
450
\n00:31:36,600 –> 00:31:39,240
\ntime with the brothers that he
\nloved. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:31:40,960 –> 00:31:44,560
\nForgive him.
\nBut it was part of the strategy <\/p>\n
452
\n00:31:46,160 –> 00:31:49,640
\nwas to just get them a little
\nbit intoxicated so they didn’t <\/p>\n
453
\n00:31:49,640 –> 00:31:51,840
\nquite know what they were
\nsaying. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:31:51,840 –> 00:31:55,680
\nAnd they’d speak their real
\nthoughts and their real mind, <\/p>\n
455
\n00:31:55,680 –> 00:31:59,880
\nand they’d say what was going
\nthrough their deepest emotions. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:32:01,120 –> 00:32:05,080
\nAnd if they thought that’s a
\npretty cool cup should make that<\/p>\n
457
\n00:32:06,840 –> 00:32:11,560
\nno one had taken notice or
\nremember you see his strategy. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:32:12,440 –> 00:32:16,920
\nJoseph is a genius in just the
\nway he orchestrates this event. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:32:19,640 –> 00:32:23,680
\nWe know the story 44 verse 1.
\nHe instructs A servant put the <\/p>\n
460
\n00:32:23,960 –> 00:32:29,520
\nthe silver cup into the sack,
\nthe special cup and he packs <\/p>\n
461
\n00:32:29,520 –> 00:32:32,760
\nthem all up with all their food
\nand off the boys go. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:32:32,760 –> 00:32:39,520
\nAnd you can imagine they would
\nbe just like such a relief for <\/p>\n
463
\n00:32:39,520 –> 00:32:41,720
\nJudah.
\nThere’d be a spring in his steps<\/p>\n
464
\n00:32:41,720 –> 00:32:45,120
\nas he’s like, let’s get back
\nhome, We’re done. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:32:46,080 –> 00:32:49,480
\nBenjamin’s safe.
\nWe’re loaded with food. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:32:49,480 –> 00:32:55,560
\nThis is too good to be true.
\nAnd it was because there’s the <\/p>\n
467
\n00:32:55,560 –> 00:33:01,840
\nservant chasing them down,
\nbailing them up, saying, what <\/p>\n
468
\n00:33:01,880 –> 00:33:06,880
\nare you boys thinking?
\nWhy would you in the world <\/p>\n
469
\n00:33:07,000 –> 00:33:11,800
\nconsider to steal from the man
\nwho was so kind to you last <\/p>\n
470
\n00:33:11,800 –> 00:33:15,400
\nnight?
\nVerse 6, Chapter 44, The man <\/p>\n
471
\n00:33:15,400 –> 00:33:17,960
\novertook them.
\nHe spoke these words to them and<\/p>\n
472
\n00:33:17,960 –> 00:33:20,000
\nthey answered.
\nAnd they said, why does my Lord <\/p>\n
473
\n00:33:20,000 –> 00:33:23,160
\nsay these things?
\nFar be it from your servants to <\/p>\n
474
\n00:33:23,160 –> 00:33:25,960
\ndo such a thing.
\nLook, the money we found in our <\/p>\n
475
\n00:33:25,960 –> 00:33:29,200
\nsacks we brought back double.
\nWhy would we steal silver or <\/p>\n
476
\n00:33:29,200 –> 00:33:32,120
\ngold?
\nIf one of us has done it, we’ll <\/p>\n
477
\n00:33:32,120 –> 00:33:36,480
\nall die.
\nTheir language is so over the <\/p>\n
478
\n00:33:36,480 –> 00:33:42,600
\ntop because they think they’re
\ntrue men, but they’ve never been<\/p>\n
479
\n00:33:42,600 –> 00:33:46,960
\nproven on that point and their
\ntest is about to happen. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:33:49,040 –> 00:33:55,560
\nThe cup is found after all.
\nThe boys dropped their sacks and<\/p>\n
481
\n00:33:55,560 –> 00:33:57,960
\nopened them all up, and you can
\nimagine Judah was probably the <\/p>\n
482
\n00:33:57,960 –> 00:33:59,400
\nfirst.
\nHe’s like totally confident. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:34:00,000 –> 00:34:02,480
\nLook, it’s not here, so you’re
\nfine. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:34:02,640 –> 00:34:05,160
\nWe don’t have it.
\nNot going through every single <\/p>\n
485
\n00:34:05,160 –> 00:34:07,920
\none of them.
\nAll the bags are open, and <\/p>\n
486
\n00:34:07,920 –> 00:34:09,880
\nunderstandably, Benjamin’s the
\nyoungest. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:34:09,960 –> 00:34:12,719
\nHe was probably told to do
\nBenjamin’s last. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:34:13,199 –> 00:34:15,960
\nThe anticipation would have
\ngrown. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:34:16,920 –> 00:34:18,600
\nAnd there’ll be.
\nNo, it’s good. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:34:18,719 –> 00:34:20,239
\nIt’s only Benjamin’s.
\nLeft, right. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:34:20,239 –> 00:34:21,840
\nStart loading up.
\nIt’s only Benjamin’s. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:34:21,840 –> 00:34:24,080
\nIt’s good.
\nOh, stuff. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:34:29,510 –> 00:34:34,760
\nWhat would you say?
\nYou’re standing there with your <\/p>\n
494
\n00:34:34,760 –> 00:34:37,239
\nbags of sack, with your sacks of
\ngrain. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:34:39,320 –> 00:34:44,960
\nAnd that special boy Benjamin,
\nto all intents, to all forms of <\/p>\n
496
\n00:34:44,960 –> 00:34:49,400
\nevidence, proof, is a thief.
\nHe stole a silver cup. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:34:49,440 –> 00:34:50,920
\nIt’s in his bag.
\nIt’s found. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:34:55,040 –> 00:34:58,840
\nWhat do you do?
\nWhat can you do? <\/p>\n
499
\n00:35:02,120 –> 00:35:06,880
\nThey tore their clothes.
\nLast time those boys talked or <\/p>\n
500
\n00:35:06,880 –> 00:35:14,120
\nsaw clothes got torn, it was
\nJacob over Joseph’s, and each <\/p>\n
501
\n00:35:14,120 –> 00:35:19,560
\none owned the responsibility.
\nThey loaded up their donkeys and<\/p>\n
502
\n00:35:19,560 –> 00:35:24,440
\nthey returned to the city and
\nJudah led the procession. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:35:25,080 –> 00:35:27,080
\nCan you feel that?
\nFeel the Bible? <\/p>\n
504
\n00:35:27,080 –> 00:35:32,920
\nSo careful.
\nThey’re all in, but Judah takes <\/p>\n
505
\n00:35:32,920 –> 00:35:36,120
\nthe lead in this situation.
\nNow, I want you to understand <\/p>\n
506
\n00:35:36,120 –> 00:35:41,160
\nwhat’s going on here because
\nit’s so easy for them at this <\/p>\n
507
\n00:35:41,160 –> 00:35:43,720
\npoint to have gone well.
\nBenjamin, it is what it is. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:35:43,720 –> 00:35:45,040
\nMate.
\nYou stole a cup. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:35:45,040 –> 00:35:48,680
\nThat was dumb.
\nWe’re out. 22 years ago, they <\/p>\n
510
\n00:35:48,680 –> 00:35:51,280
\nwould have.
\nThey would happily have left <\/p>\n
511
\n00:35:51,880 –> 00:35:56,440
\nBenjamin or Joseph in trouble
\nand walked away. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:35:57,000 –> 00:36:03,480
\nNot now, not now.
\nLet’s continue our story, he <\/p>\n
513
\n00:36:03,480 –> 00:36:06,600
\nsays in verbal.
\nWe’ve read to verse. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:36:06,600 –> 00:36:09,640
\nWe’re up to verse 14.
\nSo Judah and his brothers came <\/p>\n
515
\n00:36:09,640 –> 00:36:11,800
\nback to Joseph’s house and he
\nwas still there. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:36:11,800 –> 00:36:17,200
\nWell, it’s almost a mute point.
\nJust think about what Judah was <\/p>\n
517
\n00:36:17,720 –> 00:36:23,560
\ndoing while those boys packed up
\nand had gone off, while he <\/p>\n
518
\n00:36:23,560 –> 00:36:27,720
\nwaited for his servant to do the
\nACT and to bring them back. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:36:27,720 –> 00:36:29,840
\nWhat was Joseph doing?
\nWe don’t have time to talk about<\/p>\n
520
\n00:36:29,840 –> 00:36:30,920
\nJoseph.
\nYou think about that. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:36:31,760 –> 00:36:34,480
\nThey come in and they throw
\nthemselves down on the ground, <\/p>\n
522
\n00:36:34,480 –> 00:36:36,320
\nall 11 of them.
\nAnd Joseph would look at that <\/p>\n
523
\n00:36:36,320 –> 00:36:39,200
\nand he’d go, Yep, that’s another
\none of those dreams. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:36:39,640 –> 00:36:41,120
\nThe rest are going to be
\nfulfilled. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:36:41,120 –> 00:36:48,080
\nNot proudly, reassuringly. 10
\nbad last time, 11 this time. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:36:48,240 –> 00:36:49,920
\nThere’s more to go.
\nLet’s keep going. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:36:49,920 –> 00:36:51,600
\nIn the process of what we have
\nto do. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:36:51,840 –> 00:36:55,400
\nThis is God’s plan and his
\nresponse is verse 15. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:36:55,680 –> 00:37:00,600
\nWhat did you think you’re doing?
\nDon’t you know that a man like <\/p>\n
530
\n00:37:00,600 –> 00:37:04,000
\nme can divine?
\nAnd this is my point. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:37:04,000 –> 00:37:06,840
\nWhat he’s trying to do is teach
\nthese boys that he’s all <\/p>\n
532
\n00:37:06,840 –> 00:37:11,920
\npowerful and he knows stuff
\nabout them and learn to live <\/p>\n
533
\n00:37:11,920 –> 00:37:14,880
\nwith an awareness of an all
\npowerful being in your life. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:37:14,880 –> 00:37:17,680
\nThat’s what we need to do.
\nThat’s what he’s trying to teach<\/p>\n
535
\n00:37:17,680 –> 00:37:28,560
\nthe boys, his older brothers.
\nVerse 16 and Judah replied, <\/p>\n
536
\n00:37:29,120 –> 00:37:33,640
\nJudah takes the lead and break
\nit down into three sentences or <\/p>\n
537
\n00:37:33,640 –> 00:37:38,720
\nthree phrases that show his
\nutter speechlessness. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:37:39,880 –> 00:37:43,200
\nWhat can we say?
\nWhat can we speak? <\/p>\n
539
\n00:37:47,480 –> 00:37:51,920
\nHow can we clear ourselves?
\nYou feel that he’s lost for <\/p>\n
540
\n00:37:51,920 –> 00:37:53,800
\nwords.
\nHe really is. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:37:55,000 –> 00:37:59,240
\nThis is not planned.
\nThis is not orchestrated by him <\/p>\n
542
\n00:37:59,680 –> 00:38:02,600
\nlike the gift was that they
\nbrought last night’s where <\/p>\n
543
\n00:38:02,600 –> 00:38:04,640
\neverything went to plan,
\neverything went well. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:38:04,880 –> 00:38:08,000
\nThey’ve just had their rug
\npulled out from under them and <\/p>\n
545
\n00:38:08,000 –> 00:38:10,080
\nthey’re making it up as they go
\nalong. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:38:10,080 –> 00:38:14,400
\nThis is raw, this is real, and
\nthey’re just having to roll with<\/p>\n
547
\n00:38:14,400 –> 00:38:17,960
\nit as it happens. 20 years ago,
\nthey would have walked off and <\/p>\n
548
\n00:38:17,960 –> 00:38:20,280
\nnot cared that now they’re true
\nmen. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:38:20,280 –> 00:38:21,520
\nThey’re looking at things
\ndifferently. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:38:21,520 –> 00:38:24,560
\nThey’re realizing that they’ve
\nbeen given another opportunity. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:38:24,880 –> 00:38:27,720
\nAnd so they’re all facing up to
\nthis situation. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:38:28,680 –> 00:38:33,000
\nThey’re standing there and
\nlooking this ruler in the eye, <\/p>\n
553
\n00:38:34,480 –> 00:38:38,480
\nand the ruler responds to them.
\nOh no, sorry, we never finished <\/p>\n
554
\n00:38:38,480 –> 00:38:41,560
\nup here.
\nThree things of his <\/p>\n
555
\n00:38:41,560 –> 00:38:45,360
\nspeechlessness.
\nAnd then he connects the idea <\/p>\n
556
\n00:38:45,360 –> 00:38:50,840
\nthat God has exposed the sin of
\nyour servants. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:38:51,080 –> 00:38:52,840
\nHe’s not just thinking about a
\nsilver cup. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:38:53,400 –> 00:38:55,080
\nHe knows the real thing that’s
\ngoing on. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:38:55,080 –> 00:38:57,360
\nThey’ve been talking about this.
\nThe real sin is what they did to<\/p>\n
560
\n00:38:57,360 –> 00:39:00,520
\ntheir brother.
\nWe are now, my Lord, slaves. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:39:00,520 –> 00:39:03,000
\nWe and the one in whose
\npossession the cups found. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:39:03,160 –> 00:39:06,600
\nThat’s total overkill.
\nAll the ruler wants is the one. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:39:07,280 –> 00:39:10,160
\nAnd listen to his response.
\nHe’s like, no, no, no, no, don’t<\/p>\n
564
\n00:39:10,160 –> 00:39:11,920
\nwork like that.
\nI’m the ruler here. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:39:11,920 –> 00:39:14,320
\nYou don’t call the shots.
\nYou’re the guys that stole from <\/p>\n
566
\n00:39:14,320 –> 00:39:15,240
\nme.
\nI’m the ruler. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:39:15,360 –> 00:39:18,720
\nThis is how it’s going to be.
\nJoseph says, to far be it for me<\/p>\n
568
\n00:39:18,720 –> 00:39:22,800
\nto do this.
\nI just want that guy, the man in<\/p>\n
569
\n00:39:22,800 –> 00:39:26,000
\nwhose hand the cup was found,
\nHe’s the one that’s going to be <\/p>\n
570
\n00:39:26,000 –> 00:39:27,880
\nmy slave.
\nAnd he’s watching their eyes. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:28,280 –> 00:39:30,920
\nHe’s watching every single one
\nof them’s emotions and <\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:30,920 –> 00:39:34,960
\nresponses, and particularly the
\nguy that’s standing there with <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:34,960 –> 00:39:39,920
\nhis arm around Benjamin.
\nJust God, don’t pick on him. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:41,600 –> 00:39:47,280
\nAnd he’s watching his reaction.
\nBecause the rest of you, you can<\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:47,280 –> 00:39:49,240
\ngo home.
\nIt’s all good guys. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:49,240 –> 00:39:55,160
\nDon’t worry.
\nYou can go home in peace. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:39:57,520 –> 00:40:04,280
\nAnd Judah’s like, no, no, can’t
\ndo that. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:40:05,240 –> 00:40:11,760
\nI can’t go home and I can’t go
\nhome in peace, because there’s <\/p>\n
579
\n00:40:11,760 –> 00:40:16,600
\nno peace when you have a guilty
\nconscience for 25 years of your <\/p>\n
580
\n00:40:16,600 –> 00:40:20,480
\nlife.
\nThere’s not a hope that Judy was<\/p>\n
581
\n00:40:20,480 –> 00:40:21,600
\ngoing to walk away from that
\nmoment. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:40:24,280 –> 00:40:31,440
\nHe knows what it’s like to have
\na guilty conscience to his dad. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:40:34,640 –> 00:40:38,840
\nAnd so Joseph steps up.
\nHe steps up to defend his <\/p>\n
584
\n00:40:38,840 –> 00:40:42,040
\nbrother.
\nAnd he says, my Lord, my Lord, <\/p>\n
585
\n00:40:42,040 –> 00:40:48,000
\nplease, please, just please let
\nme explain things. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:48,320 –> 00:40:51,440
\nCan you imagine the situation?
\nThis speech is incredible. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:52,200 –> 00:40:56,800
\nIt’s like a masterpiece that’s
\nbeen compared to Shakespeare as <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:56,800 –> 00:40:59,280
\na Hebrew literacy piece.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:59,680 –> 00:41:01,560
\nIt’s amazing the way it’s
\nconstructed. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:41:01,560 –> 00:41:02,720
\nWe don’t have time to look at
\nthat. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:41:02,840 –> 00:41:07,920
\nBut it’s when you feel it, feel
\nhim as the appeals to this <\/p>\n
592
\n00:41:07,920 –> 00:41:12,720
\nrandom ruler in Egypt.
\nIt’s raw, it’s uncut, it’s <\/p>\n
593
\n00:41:12,880 –> 00:41:16,080
\nunplanned.
\nIt’s just off the the emotions <\/p>\n
594
\n00:41:16,080 –> 00:41:20,120
\nare just rolling unexpected.
\nHe’s speaking from the heart and<\/p>\n
595
\n00:41:20,120 –> 00:41:25,200
\nhe’s just saying it’s as it is.
\nAnd he says, please let me just <\/p>\n
596
\n00:41:25,200 –> 00:41:28,800
\nspeak a word to let me just
\napproach you and just talk <\/p>\n
597
\n00:41:28,800 –> 00:41:34,520
\ngently, logically to your heart.
\nDon’t get angry with me, your <\/p>\n
598
\n00:41:34,520 –> 00:41:36,280
\nservant.
\nI’m your servant. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:41:36,280 –> 00:41:38,920
\nI’m not trying to challenge you.
\nDon’t get angry with me. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:41:39,360 –> 00:41:48,520
\nYou are like God.
\nPharaoh is God in Egypt. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:41:50,120 –> 00:41:52,880
\nThat’s what Joseph was trying to
\nachieve by his whole divination <\/p>\n
602
\n00:41:52,880 –> 00:41:56,560
\ntrack or technique.
\nHe was trying to get them to <\/p>\n
603
\n00:41:56,560 –> 00:42:00,000
\nfeel that he knew everything was
\nunder control and knew what was <\/p>\n
604
\n00:42:00,000 –> 00:42:04,240
\ngoing on, like God does in our
\nlives, he says. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:42:04,240 –> 00:42:11,600
\nI understand that you are like
\nGod and so I’m going to <\/p>\n
606
\n00:42:11,600 –> 00:42:19,920
\ncommunicate to you like that.
\nHe starts then with the truth. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:42:20,560 –> 00:42:24,600
\nHe says it started off with my
\nLord asked his servants see the <\/p>\n
608
\n00:42:24,600 –> 00:42:26,360
\nplural party.
\nHe doesn’t own this party <\/p>\n
609
\n00:42:26,360 –> 00:42:29,920
\nbecause this is he shares this
\npart that’s humble. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:42:31,320 –> 00:42:35,840
\nHe says, do you have a father or
\ndo you have a brother? <\/p>\n
611
\n00:42:38,160 –> 00:42:44,120
\nThe whole speech started off
\nwith a little bit unsure what to<\/p>\n
612
\n00:42:44,120 –> 00:42:49,400
\nsay, a little bit speechless.
\nAnd now he’s going to find a <\/p>\n
613
\n00:42:49,400 –> 00:42:54,760
\nrhythm as his speech goes
\nthrough in the next 17 verses, <\/p>\n
614
\n00:42:54,760 –> 00:42:58,360
\n17 verses, the longest speech in
\nall of Genesis, he’s going to <\/p>\n
615
\n00:42:58,360 –> 00:43:01,000
\nfind this beautiful rhythm.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
616
\n00:43:02,240 –> 00:43:06,960
\nWhy is there a rhythm in what
\nJudah’s going to say? <\/p>\n
617
\n00:43:08,960 –> 00:43:13,680
\nBecause he’s telling the truth,
\nand the truth works. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:43:14,040 –> 00:43:18,600
\nThe truth adds up, and the truth
\nhas feeling, it has emotion <\/p>\n
619
\n00:43:18,760 –> 00:43:22,520
\nattached to it, and it works.
\nYou tell one lie, you’re forced <\/p>\n
620
\n00:43:22,520 –> 00:43:24,520
\nto tell another.
\nThat makes 2 lies. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:43:24,520 –> 00:43:26,600
\nAnd then suddenly you’re forced
\nto tell 4 lies and you’ve got a <\/p>\n
622
\n00:43:26,600 –> 00:43:27,720
\nproblem.
\nYou’ve got this deep hole that <\/p>\n
623
\n00:43:27,720 –> 00:43:33,680
\ndoesn’t work.
\nWhen you tell the truth, it <\/p>\n
624
\n00:43:33,680 –> 00:43:38,240
\nworks and has an incredible
\nemotional impact on the person <\/p>\n
625
\n00:43:38,240 –> 00:43:42,080
\nyou’re admitting that to.
\nAnd that’s what he’s about to <\/p>\n
626
\n00:43:42,080 –> 00:43:46,080
\ndo.
\nHe says, you asked me the truth <\/p>\n
627
\n00:43:46,080 –> 00:43:49,440
\nof the situation of how things
\nare back in our family. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:43:49,920 –> 00:43:53,680
\nAnd we said to my Lord, with
\ntruth, we said we have an old <\/p>\n
629
\n00:43:53,680 –> 00:43:57,600
\nfather, He’s an old man.
\nAnd then there’s a young boy who<\/p>\n
630
\n00:43:57,600 –> 00:43:59,320
\nwas born when our father was
\nold. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:44:00,320 –> 00:44:01,880
\nThere’s a lot of emotion there,
\nisn’t there? <\/p>\n
632
\n00:44:01,880 –> 00:44:03,640
\nThere’s there’s a lot of extra
\nfacts. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:44:03,920 –> 00:44:07,400
\nAnd it’s bringing out the Hebrew
\nemotion about the relationship <\/p>\n
634
\n00:44:07,400 –> 00:44:15,320
\nof an old man to his beloved
\nyounger son, that boy’s brother.<\/p>\n
635
\n00:44:16,720 –> 00:44:19,120
\nI like the King James that says
\nhe’s not. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:44:21,760 –> 00:44:25,280
\nI don’t know what to say because
\nthey know they don’t know. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:44:26,560 –> 00:44:27,960
\nBut the implication is he’s
\ndead. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:44:30,040 –> 00:44:32,520
\nHe’s the only one of his
\nmother’s sons that’s left, and <\/p>\n
639
\n00:44:34,160 –> 00:44:38,480
\nhis father’s life is just
\nwrapped up in the lab. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:44:39,960 –> 00:44:45,480
\nSays that later builds to that.
\nBut I want you to think about <\/p>\n
641
\n00:44:45,480 –> 00:44:50,040
\nJoseph, who’s listening to this
\nand going, oh, you think I’m <\/p>\n
642
\n00:44:50,040 –> 00:44:52,160
\ndead?
\nIs that what you told that? <\/p>\n
643
\n00:44:53,160 –> 00:44:57,160
\nIs that what that thinks?
\nOh, so Benjamin is loved. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:44:57,880 –> 00:45:00,080
\nOK, so that is a good
\nrelationship. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:45:00,080 –> 00:45:02,960
\nHe’s putting all these details
\ntogether as he’s listening to <\/p>\n
646
\n00:45:02,960 –> 00:45:05,760
\nthis speech that’s unraveling in
\nfront of him. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:45:05,960 –> 00:45:08,680
\nIt’s for Joseph.
\nThere would have been so much <\/p>\n
648
\n00:45:08,920 –> 00:45:13,640
\ninformation coming out in this
\nmoment of just intense emotion. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:45:15,200 –> 00:45:17,600
\nHe’s trying not to cry.
\nHe’s already cried 7 times. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:45:17,600 –> 00:45:20,200
\nAnd if I cry, forgive me,
\nJoseph’s cried 7. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:45:20,720 –> 00:45:22,920
\nBut this is hard to talk about,
\nright? <\/p>\n
652
\n00:45:23,240 –> 00:45:26,240
\nBecause it’s such an emotional
\nstory. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:45:27,920 –> 00:45:31,200
\nAnd in that moment, Judah is
\ntelling him things that he <\/p>\n
654
\n00:45:31,200 –> 00:45:33,360
\ndoesn’t know, and he’s trying to
\nabsorb it all. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:45:33,640 –> 00:45:37,840
\nBut what he’s also seeing is a
\nvery sincere person, a person <\/p>\n
656
\n00:45:37,840 –> 00:45:41,920
\nwho’s sensitive to that awkward
\nrelationship of his dad, who’s <\/p>\n
657
\n00:45:42,040 –> 00:45:45,480
\nover the top loving his brother.
\nAnd he’s seeing a love and a <\/p>\n
658
\n00:45:45,480 –> 00:45:48,520
\ncare for other people coming
\nout, and he’s seeing how values <\/p>\n
659
\n00:45:48,600 –> 00:45:52,320
\nor relationships are being
\nvalued between the brothers. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:45:52,320 –> 00:45:54,320
\nAnd Joseph’s receiving all these
\nideas. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:45:54,560 –> 00:45:56,800
\nAnd he’s going.
\nYou’re not actually angry at Dad<\/p>\n
662
\n00:45:56,800 –> 00:45:59,280
\nanymore.
\nOK, this is interesting. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:46:00,640 –> 00:46:03,040
\nAnd that beloved Benjamin,
\nyou’re actually standing up <\/p>\n
664
\n00:46:03,040 –> 00:46:07,160
\ndefending him when actually, to
\nall intents and purposes, he <\/p>\n
665
\n00:46:07,160 –> 00:46:13,600
\nlooks like a thief.
\nYou’ve been surety for him. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:46:14,600 –> 00:46:18,000
\nOh, you’re going to stand up for
\nhim. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:46:18,000 –> 00:46:20,240
\nYou’re going to give your life
\ninstead of him. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:46:21,440 –> 00:46:25,480
\nReally, all that is going
\nthrough Joseph’s mind. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:46:25,480 –> 00:46:27,040
\nIt’s just too much for him to
\ngrasp. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:46:28,000 –> 00:46:30,120
\nI want you to just think for a
\nsecond and you read this and I <\/p>\n
671
\n00:46:30,120 –> 00:46:31,720
\ngive you one minute.
\nWe don’t have a lot of time to <\/p>\n
672
\n00:46:31,720 –> 00:46:33,880
\nsummarize this speech into a
\ncouple of words. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:46:34,480 –> 00:46:39,200
\nTake 30 seconds.
\nHave a read of the 17 verses. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:46:39,520 –> 00:46:43,240
\nThere should be 3 or 4 keywords.
\nJump off the page to you. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:46:43,240 –> 00:46:44,840
\nIf you don’t have them colored
\nin, you need to. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:46:45,720 –> 00:46:48,680
\nIt is just so important to grasp
\nthis. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:46:49,840 –> 00:46:56,680
\nThere’s 3 or 4 keywords in the
\n17 verses from verse 20 to the <\/p>\n
678
\n00:46:56,680 –> 00:47:17,850
\nend of the chapter.
\nJoseph, who’s copying all this <\/p>\n
679
\n00:47:17,850 –> 00:47:24,010
\nemotion, all this information,
\nWhat are the key ideas that he’s<\/p>\n
680
\n00:47:24,010 –> 00:47:31,370
\nmeant to absorb and take away?
\nI struggled like you’re probably<\/p>\n
681
\n00:47:31,370 –> 00:47:33,730
\ndoing too.
\nSo I fed it into a word cloud, <\/p>\n
682
\n00:47:34,170 –> 00:47:36,720
\ndata-driven.
\nIt’s not my opinion, it’s here. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:47:37,640 –> 00:47:40,480
\nThere’s the keywords in a word
\ncloud. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:47:40,800 –> 00:47:43,760
\nI picked up the 17 verses,
\ncopied, dumped it, paste it <\/p>\n
685
\n00:47:43,760 –> 00:47:47,520
\nstraight in.
\nWhat are the important issues in<\/p>\n
686
\n00:47:47,520 –> 00:48:01,600
\nthis speech?
\nDad, actually God, He’s the real<\/p>\n
687
\n00:48:01,600 –> 00:48:04,920
\nfather.
\nWhat’s next? <\/p>\n
688
\n00:48:09,160 –> 00:48:14,960
\nWe will ignore thy servant
\nservants. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:48:15,320 –> 00:48:17,240
\nIt’s a bit of a problem.
\nThis is how raw it is. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:48:18,000 –> 00:48:19,680
\nThat’s actually the same thing.
\nSo it should be quite big. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:48:19,680 –> 00:48:21,720
\nIt’s equally up there with
\nbrother. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:48:22,000 –> 00:48:24,840
\nAnd who’s this?
\nThat’s the brother too. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:48:26,200 –> 00:48:28,680
\nYeah.
\nJust think carefully about this.<\/p>\n
694
\n00:48:30,000 –> 00:48:38,480
\nIt’s all about the father and
\nbrotherhood, but not <\/p>\n
695
\n00:48:38,600 –> 00:48:42,960
\nbrotherhood, General.
\nThere’s one special brother out <\/p>\n
696
\n00:48:42,960 –> 00:48:46,200
\nof all of the brothers, and
\nthat’s the lad. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:48:49,160 –> 00:48:53,800
\nAnd then it’s about service.
\nService. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:48:55,360 –> 00:49:00,920
\nThey’re the key ideas that came
\nout in Judah’s speech. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:49:03,200 –> 00:49:05,040
\nAllow me to summarize that for
\nyou. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:49:07,920 –> 00:49:18,520
\nThe father Jacob’s love to his
\nbeloved son Benjamin is <\/p>\n
701
\n00:49:18,520 –> 00:49:25,160
\nunderstood, valued, and
\nappreciated so much that Judah <\/p>\n
702
\n00:49:25,160 –> 00:49:32,000
\nis willing to be a servant for
\nhis brother’s good. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:49:33,080 –> 00:49:38,880
\nNot all the brothers, one
\nbrother in particular, think <\/p>\n
704
\n00:49:38,880 –> 00:49:45,080
\ndeeply about that.
\nThink very deeply because that <\/p>\n
705
\n00:49:46,280 –> 00:49:51,400
\nis the point and the purpose of
\nlife there. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:49:52,560 –> 00:49:54,440
\nLet’s say it that bluntly,
\nbecause it is. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:49:56,360 –> 00:50:02,360
\nThe purpose of our life is
\nwrapped up in our sincere love <\/p>\n
708
\n00:50:02,400 –> 00:50:09,320
\nof the Father because of his
\nspecial love to his son. <\/p>\n
709
\n00:50:11,480 –> 00:50:18,480
\nAnd as a result of that, you and
\nI are willing to lay down our <\/p>\n
710
\n00:50:18,480 –> 00:50:30,760
\nlife for our brothers because
\nour Father loves his son so <\/p>\n
711
\n00:50:30,760 –> 00:50:35,360
\nmuch, but his life is wrapped up
\nin the son’s life. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:50:37,360 –> 00:50:43,440
\nAnd our life is not worth living
\nif that beloved brother is not <\/p>\n
713
\n00:50:43,440 –> 00:50:46,680
\nalive and the father is not
\nhappy. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:50:49,600 –> 00:50:53,000
\nYou feel that.
\nThat’s why this speech is <\/p>\n
715
\n00:50:53,000 –> 00:50:58,960
\npowerful.
\nIt’s incredible, the emotional <\/p>\n
716
\n00:50:58,960 –> 00:51:00,120
\npull.
\nAnd I can’t do it. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:51:00,120 –> 00:51:03,600
\nI I’d be an absolute mess to
\ntalk about that emotionally as a<\/p>\n
718
\n00:51:03,600 –> 00:51:08,200
\nstory and present the story.
\nSo try not to do it technically <\/p>\n
719
\n00:51:08,680 –> 00:51:13,360
\nincredible.
\nLet me just show it to you in <\/p>\n
720
\n00:51:13,360 –> 00:51:16,360
\nthe last two verses or sorry,
\nverse 32. <\/p>\n
721
\n00:51:16,360 –> 00:51:21,640
\nWe’ll pick up from there.
\nHere comes the summary in verse <\/p>\n
722
\n00:51:21,640 –> 00:51:24,520
\n32.
\nIndeed, this is the truth I’m <\/p>\n
723
\n00:51:24,520 –> 00:51:31,360
\ntelling you, Joseph, ruler in
\nEgypt, your servant, me, I <\/p>\n
724
\n00:51:31,360 –> 00:51:39,520
\npledged security for that boy a
\nfew years ago. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:51:39,520 –> 00:51:42,400
\nI was happy to give my life for
\na one night stand, but not <\/p>\n
726
\n00:51:42,400 –> 00:51:48,440
\nanymore.
\nI said to my dad, if I do not <\/p>\n
727
\n00:51:48,440 –> 00:51:53,800
\nbring him back to you, then I’ll
\nbear the blame before my dad for<\/p>\n
728
\n00:51:54,320 –> 00:52:04,680
\nall the rest of my life.
\nSo now please, please, please <\/p>\n
729
\n00:52:05,720 –> 00:52:08,920
\njust let me stay instead of the
\nlad. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:52:10,600 –> 00:52:15,360
\nJust let me be the servant.
\nJust let him go. <\/p>\n
731
\n00:52:16,000 –> 00:52:19,080
\nWhy?
\nWhy is Judah caring so much? <\/p>\n
732
\n00:52:20,280 –> 00:52:22,520
\nIt’s not because he cares just
\nabout Benjamin. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:52:22,800 –> 00:52:26,080
\nHe cares most of all about his
\ndad. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:52:27,280 –> 00:52:29,360
\nHe says.
\nHow could I go back to my father<\/p>\n
735
\n00:52:31,000 –> 00:52:35,920
\nand the boy’s not with me?
\nI couldn’t do it, he says. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:52:35,920 –> 00:52:40,880
\nWhy?
\nBecause I couldn’t bear to see <\/p>\n
737
\n00:52:41,840 –> 00:52:46,360
\nthe evil that would come upon my
\nfather’s face. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:52:47,120 –> 00:52:52,080
\nI saw it 22 years ago.
\nI can’t do it again. <\/p>\n
739
\n00:52:53,680 –> 00:52:58,320
\nThat’s what he’s saying.
\nI saw what it did to my dad. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:52:58,720 –> 00:53:05,240
\nI stood beside my dad and I lied
\nthrough my teeth to him not <\/p>\n
741
\n00:53:05,360 –> 00:53:13,040
\ndoing it again.
\nI can’t bear to see the way his <\/p>\n
742
\n00:53:13,040 –> 00:53:19,840
\nface would screw up in pain.
\nAnd the fact is, he would die <\/p>\n
743
\n00:53:19,840 –> 00:53:25,880
\nthis time because his life is
\nbound up in that boy’s life. <\/p>\n
744
\n00:53:28,040 –> 00:53:35,520
\nDo you feel that?
\nAnd he’d lift his head, and he’d<\/p>\n
745
\n00:53:35,520 –> 00:53:40,880
\nlift his head up and he’d look
\ninto the eyes of that Egyptian <\/p>\n
746
\n00:53:41,560 –> 00:53:51,400
\nruler and he’d see his face
\nstart to contort and twitch. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:53:54,120 –> 00:53:58,040
\nHe was clearly, I don’t know,
\nagitated. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:53:59,000 –> 00:54:06,520
\nSomething is bothering the ruler
\nthat I’ve just appealed to. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:54:08,080 –> 00:54:10,800
\nAnd he wants to know that rule
\nof emotions. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:54:11,000 –> 00:54:15,560
\nHe wants to understand the
\nemotional impact that he had <\/p>\n
751
\n00:54:16,400 –> 00:54:21,400
\nupon that ruler.
\nAnd that is our exhort for the <\/p>\n
752
\n00:54:21,480 –> 00:54:21,720
\nsake.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
