The Immorality of Judah that leads to Jesus
Nov 3, 2024 • Dr. Daniel Gillenwater
After Genesis 37 ends with Joseph on his way to Egypt, we have a break in the story of Joseph. Genesis 38 recounts the immorality of Judah, one of Joseph's brothers. While this story may seem out of place, Judah's immorality highlights the morality of Joseph we will see in the next chapter. Furthermore, it is this immoral act of Judah that ultimately leads us to the Messiah. This passage also offers several important lessons for us today regarding the dangers of immoral behavior.
