Genesis 44:16-34 And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves?… I. IT WAS ABLE. II. IT WAS NOBLE. III. IT GAVE PROMISE OF FUTURE GREATNESS, IV. IT SUGGESTS SOME FEATURES OF OUR LORD'S INTERCESSION FOR US. V. IT SUGGESTS THE QUALITIES OF TRUE PRAYER. In true prayer the soul is stirred to its depths. "I would give very much," says Luther, "if I could pray to cur Lord God as well as Judah prays to Joseph here; for it is a perfect specimen of prayer — the true feeling there ought to be in prayer." (T. H. Leale.) Parallel Verses KJV: And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found. |
