Genesis 42:9-24

While these events were taking place in Egypt, Jacob’s family has been left on one side. It is as if God had said, "After your crime and now that Joseph is no longer among you, I have no more interest in telling the story of what concerns you." It is so with the sad story of man, and in particular of Israel after the rejection of the Saviour. God has nothing more to say to this people. But in His infinite patience, He has not, by doing this, forgotten the objects of His faithful promises. He is only waiting for the right moment to re-establish His relationship with them. And the right moment is the famine. If God allows trials such as hardship or illness, even with His own, it is often so that Christ, the true Joseph, may take, or take anew, His full place in our lives. Do not let us think that passing time can erase even the smallest sin; each one of them is always present in the Lord’s sight, even if we have forgotten it and we will have to have dealings with Him about it sooner or later.

"We are true men," the criminal brothers dare to declare when they present themselves before the one who can prove the opposite and can confound them by merely revealing his name. How can people think they are worthy when they are guilty of rejecting Jesus?
