Completing the Good Work

One of the beauties of the Old Testament is that it puts skin and bone on New Testament concepts. A New Testament concept that is fleshed out in the chapters before us is Philippians 1:6. “And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” God began a good work in several people and finished it. He finished the work he started in Joseph’s brothers (specifically Judah), in Joseph, and in Israel (Jacob).

Completing the good work in Judah, Ch. 43-44

Completing the good work in Joseph, Ch. 45

Completing the good work in Jacob, 46:1-4

When God begins a good work in you, He guarantees its completion.
