About this sermon

Speaker: Pastor Ken Addison, Teaching Pastor Beulah Baptist Church | Hopkins, SC Scripture: Genesis 50:15–21 In Genesis 50:15–21, Pastor Ken Addison teaches on Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers after the death of Jacob. Joseph’s brothers feared that he might finally repay them for the evil they had done, but Joseph responded with mercy, kindness, and trust in the sovereign purposes of God. Joseph did not minimize their sin. He told them plainly, “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” Their actions were wrong, but God was working through even their evil to preserve life and fulfill His promises. This sermon reminds us that vengeance belongs to God, not to us. When we are wronged, we are tempted to repay evil for evil, hold grudges, or take justice into our own hands. But believers are called to forgive because God has forgiven us in Christ. The greatest example of God bringing good out of evil is the cross of Jesus Christ. Evil men crucified the sinless Son of God, yet through that very act God accomplished salvation for sinners. Because Christ has forgiven our great debt, we are called to extend forgiveness and kindness to those who have wronged us. Watch and be encouraged to trust the sovereignty of God, rest in the forgiveness of Christ, and forgive as God in Christ has forgiven you. Thank you for watching.
