Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

This year, we want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through our study, Christ and all of Scripture.

Each week we will dive deeply into two passages of Scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New,

seeing how they connect and point to Jesus.

Whether you are doing the study yourself or just following along with us here, we are

throughout the entire biblical story, but the center of it. Hello, welcome back to a year in the

for him. So they sold Joseph into slavery and made up a story that Joseph was dead.

But God was with Joseph, and he worked through his circumstances to eventually make it possible for Joseph to serve

under the Pharaoh in Egypt and to give Joseph control over Egypt. Yeah, that is a very nice and good

summary of a very long story. Very impressed. So how does this story specifically impact

Judah, the brother that we talked about last week? Well, a famine comes into the land during this time

and threatens Jacob and his sons. And if Jacob and his sons, specifically Judah, die from this
