While trials can be painful, God often uses them to reveal unconfessed sin and lead us to conversion. Facing the prospect of famine and death, Joseph’s brothers unwittingly turned for help to the brother they once rejected. In this message, Alistair Begg shows how God used this trial to awaken guilty consciences so enemies could be reconciled. When we acknowledge our own guilt, we become aware of our need to be saved and discover Jesus’ great provision.
