Genesis 44:33 “Let Me Remain”
“Now therefore, I pray you, let your servant abide instead of the lad a slave to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brothers.”
Here Judah is saying, "let me bear the blame (and) ... let (me) remain instead of the lad a slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers." No wonder it would be prophesied of him, "The scepter shall not depart from Judah..." (Genesis 49:10).
Here was a man willing to give up his own life for someone else – sound familiar?
The Truth
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
