MEANT FOR GOOD | Forgiveness

Joseph’s reunion with his brothers in Genesis 45 shows a beautiful kind of forgiveness—but it’s only a “first pond,” pointing to something greater: Jesus, the true hero of every story. Like Joseph’s brothers, we’ve sinned and expect judgment, yet Jesus bears our sins on the cross and removes them “as far as the east is from the west,” offering complete forgiveness, freedom from shame, and a place with him forever. Stop trying to earn it—receive the gift of grace.
