Listen "70. Judah intercedes for Benjamin - July 7, 2022"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today, we will be going over Proverb 7. We will then key in on verse 18. I talk briefly about men or women who often entice members of the opposite sex with one night stands and caution people about making this very important decision. I remind people that the physical aspect and the "good feeling" will only last for a few moments, and the repercussions or consequences can be very severe. I encourage people to think very hard prior to allowing yourself to go through with this decision. I then give people a quick review of everything we have so far learned in the story of Joseph. As we pick up our story Joseph has given grain to all of the brothers and sent them on their way. We will then pick up the story with Chapter 44: verses 1-13. The three points I discuss from this passage of scripture are the following: 1. The brother all agreed that whoever's bag the cup of Joseph was found in could be killed (later to become his slave) - because each of the brother knew for certain that they had NOT taken the cup; they also felt that none of their other brothers would have taken it either; 2. They all tore their clothes in dismay when Joseph's cup is found in the mouth of the sack of Benjamin - they know that are all in for it now and they will not be going home anytime soon!; 3. Judah intercedes for Benjamin - although Reuben is the oldest son and should have taken the mantle of leadership at this time it is Judah who has made the arrangement with Israel (Jacob) that he would take responsibility for Benjamin and that he assured him he would bring the boy back home.
