Judah’s Legacy

Genesis 38

Big Idea: Legacy comes from self-sacrificing righteousness, not self-preservation. 

1.      Judah seeks to preserve his legacy wrongly. (1–11)

2.      Tamar seeks to preserve legacy deceptively. (12–23) 

3.      Judah recognizes his lack of righteousness. (24–26)

4.      Judah’s legacy (and Israel’s?) is secured. (27–30)
