Essential Studies.
Genesis 44, Judah’s transformation
Additional studies: Genesis Index
In Gen 44:18-34, the full extent of Judah’s transformation is revealed, and the reason Joseph put his brothers through testing. Benjamin was Jacob’s clear favorite, just as Joseph had been. Yet the brothers do not hate Benjamin because of it; they accept it and return honor to their brother and their father. Envy no longer rules them. Joseph creates for them the same conditions of imprisonment and slavery that they had inflicted on him, and yet their response to his tests reveals their greater concern for the welfare of their father, rather than their own standing in the household.
Psalm 43, Why have You rejected me
Additional studies: Psalms Book Two (42-72) Index
If the question of being cut off causes you anxiety, then rest your heart, you have not met the threshold. Those whose conscience troubles them, the Holy Spirit is working to convict of sin and righteousness (Joh 16:8). Those who are truly cut off don’t care; they shake their fist at God and dare Him to strike them with lightning.
Romans 2, Chiastic Structure
Additional studies: Romans Index
But so that Jews will not make the mistake of agreeing with Paul’s scathing indictment of the Greeks (Gentiles) and go away feeling self- righteous and satisfied in it, he opens Rom 2 with the unrighteousness of man judging man. What comes from man? Unrighteousness. If a man judges another man’s heart as condemned because of unrighteousness, then what has he just done? Committed unrighteousness. Man is not the Just Judge. Man’s judgment is not just. Therefore the one who has judged, has just done the very thing that he condemned the other man for: he committed unrighteousness.
