Do this and live, for I fear God

Welcome to the living word of God in Genesis chapter 42 we find is in verse 11 oh in verse 9 Joseph turned to them and said you are spies you have come to see the nakedness of Egypt then they said no my lord but your servants have come to buy food verse 11 we are all one man’s son we are honest men your servants are not spies oh the ten brothers who stripped him naked threw him into the well sold him as a slave for twenty pieces of silver now are saying now are trying to defend themselves now we’re trying to save themselves and say we are not spies we are one man’s son we are all brothers we have just come to buy food I tell you brothers and sisters Joseph must be finding that very interesting isn’t it they also use the word we are very honest and I am glad that the ten brothers who were cruel and tough and rough some years ago now you will find actually they have changed a lot they have become honest yes true they are the sons of one man and they are not spies but Joseph simply threw them into the prison it seemed like very cruel isn’t it but I believe Joseph must have treated them well in prison but after three days verse 18 Joseph said to them on the third day do this and leave for I fear God do this and live for a fear God if Joseph fear God do you think he would take revenge no if Joseph fear God do you think he would mistreat them in the present no do you think Joseph would take revenge not at all Joseph said I care for your life I want you to leave I want you to do this for I fear God brothers and sisters do you fear God do you love God if you fear God if you love God you will never mistreat others you will never be arrogant you will never be proud but you will be caring loving kind forgiving forbearing patient and you would care for others Joseph said do this and leave for I fear God may that be our message to this to everybody do this and leave for I fear God. Amen
