The Healing of Anger
By Tim Keller
Sermon
A Prime Minister’s Forgiveness
Tim Keller | September 28, 1997
Overview
The story of Joseph tells us something awfully basic, and yet probably all of us will recognize that the problems in our lives are due to a lack of orientation to this thing that’s so basic. This story tells us God is a God both of truth and of love—equally, together. And what does he want for us? He wants us to forgive the way he forgave us.
To see this, we need to look at the very end of a very long story that goes from Genesis 37 all the way to Genesis 50. This is the end of the story, and in many ways it looks back and recaps the rest of the story.
We’re going to ask two questions about the narrative: 1) Why did Joseph weep? 2) What did Joseph say?
