God Has Given You Treasure

Here in this section of Scripture we find many lessons related to the gift of salvation which Christ by His Holy Spirit teaches unbelievers as He is leading them to the place where He will reveal Himself personally to those whom God has chosen. A person who is thus being drawn to Christ may not understand the reasons for the many unusual things that are happening to them, but they will find the grace of Christ to be irresistible. This is the picture that is being given to us in the verses that I have just read to you. So the question that I will lay before you at this hour is this: What are the spiritual misconceptions that these brothers had concerning Joseph's loving generosity; things which prevented them from immediately coming to know Joseph for who he really was? For these are the very same misconceptions that needy sinners often have today, in how they view Him. And therefore, as we look more carefully into the words of our text, I believe that we will see that these men had 3 spiritual misconceptions, which perhaps you, or others whom you love, might have as well. When I relate these misconceptions to you, I hope that it will convince you to draw near to Christ so that you may partake of the rich spiritual blessings which He has prepared for you.
