Genesis 38 Having just begun to relay the story of

Joseph, an exemplary man of God, why would the Scriptures take a

strange excursion to the life of his brother Judah, a man seemingly

morally depraved? The question must be asked; is there any good

that can come from this sordid event in a family that is riddled

with ungodliness? Yet, we are reminded again that the hero of

Genesis is not Joseph or his brothers, but rather, Jesus. His grace

is available not to the deserving, but even to the most

contemptible.
