day no. 14,259: spring in Judah

Genesis 43:9
I will be a pledge of his safety. From my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.

Judah's heart is being transformed by the Holy Spirit to substitute himself for his brother. He is pledging his loyalty to protecting Benjamin and that Benjamin's fate would now be tied to his. If Benjamin perishes, so will Judah. But this is only the beginning of Judah's transformation. There are more extravagant evidences of Gospel inspiration yet to come.
