Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 4, 2014

Judah finds both repentance, and amendment of life.

THE TESTIMONY OF JUDAH. Genesis 44:18-34. I have often wondered why the account of Joseph’s plight in Egypt is interrupted by a chapter about his half-brother Judah (Genesis 38).

Jesus as done all He needs to do for us and we are to receive it all by faith
