Seated separately from the Saviour

Though Joseph's brothers were brought near to him, yet he still did not sit with them. That detail carries great significance.

Gen 43:32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

Seated separately from the Saviour

1. Separation and man's guilt.
2. Separation and the Saviour's yearning
3. Separation and omniscience
