Judah Vs. Joseph: What a Contrast!

The narrative concerning Joseph's life is now abruptly interrupted with this account of Judah and some key events that take place in his life. The chapter almost appears out of place and deals with some pretty sordid sins and yet we know the Holy Spirit includes it right here for a reason. As we study the account, those reasons will become apparent. The account not only serves as a warning against the sins of the flesh, it is also a testament to the triumph of God's grace out of the wreckage of man's sin and depravity.
