Honored by the Lord

Genesis 42-43; Psalms 5; Luke 17

“When the portions were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s. So they feasted and drank freely with him.”

Genesis 43:34

Why was Benjamin’s portion five times greater than his brothers’ portions?

Joseph was sending a message that he was honoring his full blood brother Benjamin who had not participated in his betrayal. We, too, will face the great white throne judgment and be accountable for all we have done (Revelation 20). We, too, will be invited to the wedding banquet of the Lamb if we have placed our faith in Jesus Christ.

How much more will Jesus honor his brothers and sisters who have been purchased by his blood at the great banquet?

Are we boldly sharing his gospel now?

Those who honor Christ now will be honored by him at the banquet later.

“Lord Jesus, your honor and saving gospel are my focus while there is still time, for your glory.”
