VIII. MAIN BODY:

Judah is talking to his father Jacob, convincing him to let Benjamin go with them to Egypt so they can buy food for the family. Jacob is hesitant because he remembered his favorite son, Joseph, did not return to him before, now Benjamin, Joseph's youngest brother will not return to him either. In what Judah said to his father, Jacob, we can see the redemptive quality of Judah, unlike his oldest brother Reuben promising his two sons's death in exchange of Benjamin, Judah promised himself and not anyone else. Judah is a type of CHRIST. CHRIST came from this tribe. Judah, meaning "celebrated", or "praised", celebrated or praised the future coming of the Messiah from his tribe, that is none other than the LORD JESUS CHRIST Himself.

Compare what Reuben said below with our text:

Genesis 42:37 (Amplified Bible)

42:37 And Reuben said to his father, Slay my two sons if I do not bring [Benjamin] back to you. Deliver him into my keeping, and I will bring him back to you.

How dare Reuben promised an innocent blood, even the blood of his two sons to his father just to impressed him.

A. Judah promised himself, his own life

" I will be security for him; you shall require him of me [personally];"

1. JESUS promised Himself for us, His own body on the tree, cursed for us, and we acquire the blessings.

I remembered the LORD JESUS CHRIST Himself, this sermon is entirely focused on the character of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and not on Judah. Remember, our LORD JESUS CHRIST, promised Himself, promised His blood and body to redeem us.

Hebrews 10:5-9 (Amplified Bible)

10:5 Hence, when He [Christ] entered into the world, He said, Sacrifices and offerings You have not desired, but instead You have made ready a body for Me [to offer];

10:6 In burnt offerings and sin offerings You have taken no delight.

10:7 Then I said, Behold, here I am, coming to do Your will, O God—[to fulfill] what is written of Me in the volume of the Book.

10:8 When He said just before, You have neither desired, nor have You taken delight in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings—all of which are offered according to the Law—

10:9 He then went on to say, Behold, [here] I am, coming to do Your will. Thus He does away with and annuls the first (former) order [as a means of expiating sin] so that He might inaugurate and establish the second (latter) order.

Psalms 40:6-8 (Amplified Bible)

40:6 Sacrifice and offering You do not desire, nor have You delight in them; You have given me the capacity to hear and obey [Your law, a more valuable service than] burnt offerings and sin offerings [which] You do not require.

40:7 Then said I, Behold, I come; in the volume of the book it is written of me;

40:8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; yes, Your law is within my heart.

Galatians 3:13 (Amplified Bible)

3:13 Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified);

Deuteronomy 21:23 (Amplified Bible)

21:23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you shall surely bury him on the same day, for a hanged man is accursed by God. Thus you shall not defile your land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.

2. JESUS promised His own riches for us to become rich.

2 Corinthians 8:9 (Amplified Bible)

8:9 For you are becoming progressively acquainted with and recognizing more strongly and clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (His kindness, His gracious generosity, His undeserved favor and spiritual blessing), [in] that though He was [so very] rich, yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in order that by His poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied).

3. JESUS promised His own Perfect, Righteous Life here on earth for us to become like Him.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (Amplified Bible)

5:21 For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].

1 John 4:17 (Amplified Bible)

4:17 In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.

4. JESUS promised His own House for us to be His Own.

John 14:1-3 (Amplified Bible)

14:1 DO NOT let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.

14:2 In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you.

14:3 And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.

5. JESUS promised His own WORD to cleanse us and so we can bear much fruit

John 15:1-5 (Amplified Bible)

15:1 I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.

15:2 Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit.

15:3 You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you].

15:4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.

15:5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

B. Judah promised to return Benjamin back to Jacob with a guarantee - a never-ending blame

"if I do not bring him back to you and put him before you, then let me bear the blame forever"

JESUS promised the life of the disciples and all who will believe on Him will be protected and preserved by His Name.

John 17:12 (Amplified Bible)

17:12 While I was with them, I kept and preserved them in Your Name [in the knowledge and worship of You]. Those You have given Me I guarded and protected, and not one of them has perished or is lost except the son of perdition [Judas Iscariot—the one who is now doomed to destruction, destined to be lost], that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

He will return us to His Father GOD, and He will manifest Himself then to the world.

John 17:13-14 (Amplified Bible)

17:13 And now I am coming to You; I say these things while I am still in the world, so that My joy may be made full and complete and perfect in them [that they may experience My delight fulfilled in them, that My enjoyment may be perfected in their own souls, that they may have My gladness within them, filling their hearts].

17:14 I have given and delivered to them Your word (message) and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world [do not belong to the world], just as I am not of the world.

IX. CONCLUSION:

I have now CHRIST's life, CHRIST's riches, CHRIST's House and CHRIST will come back for me before the end of the age.
