Come close to me! - Genesis 45:1-15 When Joseph said:"Come close to me!" he was opening his arms for reconciliation with his brothers, after all Judah, one of Joseph’s brothers, had accepted full responsibility for Benjamin’s safety... Judah had courageously defended himself and his brothers and pleaded for mercy. He even offered to put himself in Benjamin’s place… He had proved that the brothers had changed. There are times when we should be silent… but there are also times when we need to speak up, even if there is a chance of serious repercussions… When we are faced with a situation that requires a strong voice… and courageous action… remember Judah… and speak up If you would like us to pray for you, please send your prayer request to: pastor@ustepin.com If you would like to see this or previous messages, either as video or audio versions, please visit us at: https://www.ustepin.com We feel God is blessing us as we create these weekly Sunday sermons and that is all the recompense we need.
