He treated his brethren harshly-at first, Ms purpose being to ascertain as to whether they were the same cruel, heartless «meu a* before, and to produce penitence in theirhearts. They keenly felt their guilt and heartily, re­ pented o f their folly; Judah’s pathetic appeal overcame Ms apparent harsh­ ness, causing him to disclose Ms Iden­ tity. Being unable to restralnhla pent- up emotions he orders every one front-* bis presence. This act on the part of Joseph troubled them; It ought to have. made them glad. Their sins prevented It-being a time o f joy for -them. TMs most beautifully illustrates Christ’s dealing with Ms brethren, the Jews, joust as they who had rejected him and sold him were compelled to come to 1dm for aid, so when the great tribula­ tion comes, Chrlafc’abretbreh, the Jews, will cry unto hlm.for aid (Danlel.fi :27; 12:1 •rMattheW/i$1!2'Lr Zecharlah 32:30- 14),’ Joseph dealt Severely, with Ms brethren to test them and bring them to repentance. So'Cbrist will do with the Jews (Hosea 5;J5; Ezekiel 22:30- 22. 'A s Joseph's love was behind bis harsh exacting^, so back o f .Christ’s treatment o f the Jews will be Ms great love for them. II. Joseph's Efforts to Assuage the Grief o f His Brethren (vv,4-8). When Joseph revealed himself to M s. brethren, the remembrance of their sins pierced them through. Joseph's first question was about Ms father.' This shows that his desire was to put their thoughts far away from tltflr crime. He invited them to come near unto him, and assured them God had overruled .their" crime in'sending Mm for their salvation. ■They meant it for evil, blit it was part o f God’s plan for good. TMs. does not excuse them from the guilt o f the sin. In some future time Christ will become reconciled to' his brethren, the Jews, and be their Savior and benefactor (Isaiah 11:10- 16). Peter, on the .day o f Pentecost, showed that the jews* treatment of Christ was sucbj and that God’s over­ rating, providence had turned if out for good, Just as Egypt was obliged to come to Joseph for sustenance and become servants for Pharaoh through him (Genesis 4T:13>20>, so will all the . world yet come IjfeTJhrlat for Ms1 bless­ ing, and be reconciled to God through him (Islalah 2:2-4; 11:10; Psalms 72:T-1T; Zecharlah 14;16). III. Joseph Bent Hlk Brethren With Good News to his Father (w ; P-15). As soon as Joseph's brethren knew Mm. and were reconciled to him, they were sent with the glad tldlngB to their father. He assured them that be would nourish them and that they should be near him. They were direct­ ed to tell o f his glory. Jacob would not have mourned the death o f Joseph had he known o f Ms glory. He now gave them the kiss o f reconciliation and they were permitted to talk with, him. Reconciliation precedes com­ munion. Willard Recharging, Repairing and a complete line" of Rentals- . N k .
