Given a Cup!
Genesis 44:1-17
Joseph through a steward of his, plants a spiritual cup in Benjamin grain bag (Gen 44:2). The purpose is that it would bring the brothers back to Joseph house. Their hearts would now be full of heaviness for Benjamin (Gen 44:13) who would now have a life of slavery and death. These thoughts just overwhelmed all the brothers especially Judah (Gen 44:14-16). They where now all facing their iniquities concerning Joseph, realizing that God was now bring it all full circle and He wanted them to confess and deal with their iniquities (Gen 44:16). Disciple Principle: Christ goal is to cleans us from all our iniquities and sin, this happens when we except the cup of Christ shed blood by faith. For it is Christ who cleanses us and gives to us eternal life. He chose and we need to choose also. Remember: Christ sees all things and know all things. He does not want to give to us a cup of death, but one of life eternal which He drank for us. (Matt 20:22, Matt 26:39).
