Now the flood-gates of love open and Joseph makes himself known to his brothers (Zech. 14:4; 13:6, “E” on your chart).
V.3-4 Notice the statement repeated. All the redeemed will always remember that we put the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross (John 1:29).
V.5, 7-9 Joseph mentioned God four times. God was behind the terrible experience of Joseph of being sold as a slave, and was preparing a way for the whole family to be preserved and blessed.
V.9-15 They are to go back quickly to the others at home and tell them of Joseph (John 17:18). So Joseph told them what to say (Mark 16:15). They were to hurry (2 Cor. 6:2). Everything was to be provided for them (Rom. 8:32).
V.20 They were told not to worry about their own stuff (Phil. 4:6). Through suffering, Joseph received the crown (Heb. 1:3; 2:9-10; 9:28).
V.16-20 The happiness that Pharaoh and all in his house had when they heard the news of Joseph’s family, tells us what a grand reputation Joseph must have had.
V.25-28 Joseph had told them to tell his father of all his glory in Egypt (v. 13) but notice in verse 26 the first thing they tell their father! The great point of Christianity is that Jesus lives (Rev. 1:18). Jacob had believed the lies his sons had once told him (Gen. 37:32). Now when the truth is told, he will not believe. Many people gladly believe all the lies which are told about God. But they will not believe the truth. The day will come when God will make them believe a lie (2 Thess. 2:10-12).
