Judah's Offer: The Path to Sacrificial Redemption

A theological exposition on Genesis 44, analysing the transformative moment when Judah intercedes for his younger brother, Benjamin. The core argument focuses on Judah’s impassioned speech to Joseph, highlighting the dramatic offering of himself as a substitutionary slave to secure Benjamin’s freedom. This act of heroic self-sacrifice is presented as conclusive proof of the brothers' genuine repentance, contrasting sharply with their previous cruelty towards Joseph. The material structurally details how God employs trials to reveal character and how a truly changed heart expresses itself through selfless, sacrificial love for family. Ultimately, the text interprets Judah’s willingness to stand in the gap for his brother as a potent foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, whose ultimate sacrifice provides redemption for humanity. The study concludes with a three-point outline intended for preaching, emphasising responsibility, repentance, and reflection on Christ’s example
