Genesis 37-50
This is the final piece of the Genesis Puzzle.
Last week we saw several contexts in which God’s kingdom is being built: broken cultures, broken nations, broken families and broken individuals. This last section of Genesis deals with the context of a broken family in greater detail, but also shows us that God’s plan of redemption, his Kingdom, extends beyond the bounds of human relationship and cultures but also to human suffering and injustice.
What is more, Genesis 37-50 speaks an invitation, an echo of Genesis 12:1-3, to participate in God’s redemptive work through our choices, our actions and our speech. This participation does not come cheaply or easily, for to participate in bringing God’s kingdom is to participate in the bringing of Grace.
This week we will look at the life of Joseph and see the first character in Genesis to clearly and fully become the blessing to others that God spoke into existence years before and.
God invites us to be agents of his Kingdom subverting the wills, intents and powers of this world, and transforming them into actions of grace, hope, joy, peace and love.
