In Genesis 42, famine drives Joseph’s ten brothers down to Egypt. Johan Schep shows how the journey itself awakens their conscience, because the last time Egypt was on their minds, they were selling their own brother.
Joseph recognises them at once, but they do not recognise him. They call themselves honest men, though they had deceived their father for years. Joseph tests them, but not to punish them.
Johan shows how all of this points to the Lord Jesus. He was in the right place at the right time, and He recognised His brothers before they recognised Him, and He loved us before we loved Him.
