Genesis 38:1-30 Judah and Tamar

In the middle of the narrative on Joseph, we come across this passage on Judah. There is nothing in Judah's life that would make one think that he would be in the line of the Messiah. Yet, through God's sovereign graciousness that's exactly what happens. Judah's spiritual journey begins a major transformation in his life after he is confronted with his sin and he responds in confession and repentance.
