The title of the message today is Incredible Forgiveness. I want us to consider two examples of forgiveness that should just blow us away. 1) Joseph Forgives His Brothers In order to consider how incredible this forgiveness was, I want to point out three things about it. • Joseph doesn't harm them That word dismayed is a term to describe paralyzing fear. At first, they must have been shocked to learn that this powerful prime minister was the brother whom they had sold into slavery 22 years earlier! As this amazing truth sunk in – they brothers were over come by fear! They are so scared they couldn't move – they couldn't even speak! Why are they so afraid? A = because Joseph may repay them for all the evil they did to him! But Joseph is not interested in revenge. They are quaking in their boots in v3, but Joseph tells them to come near to me in v4. Do not be afraid – come close to me – I am not going to hurt you. I am not going to repay evil for evil. • Joseph provides for their safety • Joseph loves them and reconciles with them 2nd example of incredible forgiveness 2) God Forgives Sinners Our Response: 1) Praise God! 2) Enjoy God! 3) Forgive others!
