Ge 45:17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Say to your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and depart; go to the land of Canaan.
18 'Bring your father and your households and come to me; I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.
20 'Also do not be concerned about your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.'"
23 And he sent to his father these things: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and food for his father for the journey.
Jacob
was blessed by Pharaoh for Joseph’s sake. Jacob did not do anything to deserve the
royal benefits and goods given to him, but still it was given to him because of Joseph.
In the same way, God is offering to us the spiritual blessing of salvation not
because we deserve it but because of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Just as Jacob was blessed for Joseph's sake, so a sinner is blessed by God for Christ's sake---what He did on the cross. But, like all offers, it must be received and accepted on our part.
God is offering to us now the blessings of salvation, redemption and forgiveness of sins through the Lord Jesus Christ. And we can receive it the moment we put our trust in the Savior and what He did on the cross.
