The Joy of Nearness
Commentators like Charles Spurgeon emphasize that the most attractive part of Joseph's offer was not just the provision of land but the promise, "you shall be near unto me." This highlights that restored relationship and fellowship are central to God's blessings. For the believer, the greatest joy is not merely salvation's benefits, but nearness to Christ himself.
