This lesson centers on the emotional reunion of Joseph and his father Jacob after decades of separation. It begins with Pharaoh generously sending provisions and luxurious carts to bring Jacob and his family to Egypt. Joseph, while sending his brothers home, warns them not to quarrel, highlighting that repentance doesn't remove future temptations or consequences. Upon hearing the news, Jacob is initially stunned but finds hope revived through Joseph’s message and the evidence sent. Before entering Egypt, Jacob pauses in Beersheba to seek God’s guidance—a rare act of obedience and faith. God affirms Jacob’s journey, promising expansion into a great nation and a future exodus. When Joseph finally meets Jacob, the reunion is deeply moving, symbolizing restoration and fulfillment. Joseph demonstrates grace by providing generously for his family and honoring his humble origins. He proudly introduces his aged father to Pharaoh, and Jacob boldly blesses Pharaoh—an act of spiritual testimony. The lesson closes by connecting Joseph’s message to his brothers with the gospel: Christ is alive, exalted, and invites all to dwell with Him.
Together … At Last!
