Genesis 49:29-50:26 — God Will Re-Write The Story
Main Idea: Choose to see your life through the lens of God bringing good out of evil.
Gen. 49:29-50:14 — Jacob dies, and is buried in Canaan in the family grave plot Abraham bought next to the trees and altar in Mamre.
Gen. 50:15-21 — Joseph’s brothers fear that he’ll take revenge on them once Jacob dies, but he reaffirms his forgiveness and belief in God’s sovereignty to direct their evil actions towards good ends.
Gen. 50:22-26 — Joseph dies, and commands Israel to bury his bones in Canaan when God calls them out of Egypt.
God is re-writing humanity’s story
Humanity chose to reject God’s initial good design.
Humans choose every day to rebel against God’s character.
Jesus chose to reconcile us to God through His suffering & death.
One day He’ll return to make all things right in the resurrection.
God is re-writing YOUR story
Your choices (good or evil) can be used by God for good.
Others’ choices that affect you can be used by God for good.
You can view your life through the lens of broken human choices, or through the lens of God’s plans for human good & His glory.
