Judah becomes the leader of the brothers. The line of Jesus proceeds through Judah. Judah is a "type" of Christ as he offers to bear the blame on behalf of his brothers and Joseph. he is now genuinely concerned about the feelings of his dad, Jacob.
Joseph can now see how God worked all this out (even through the evil of his brothers selling him into slavery) for His own purposes - for the good of the family. This is a good lesson to learn to wait on God and let His good plan play out.
We can see the free will of man and the sovereignty of God both working out here. Even through the independent evil of man, God is still in control.
