Genesis 37-50, The Providence of God

The final section of Genesis reveals us to the awesome providence of God at work in Joseph’s life. This is a window into the doctrine of providence that has and continues to hold true and cascade over all things for all time. As the bigger story of Genesis shows, divine providence ultimately culminates in Christ. For this reason even as Jacob expresses his longing for the salvation of the Lord at the end of the days, he unwittingly calls out for the name of Jesus (49:18).
