Genesis 49 - Day 49 (link to reading plan)
Scripture: Genesis 49:8-12 Observation: Jacob is about to die so he gathers his family around him and pronounces his blessings and curses. Application: Judah was the fourth son of Leah, Jacob's neglected wife. In any other situation, he would probably have been forgotten like Issachar or Zebulun (sons #9 & #10). However, in this set of circumstances, because his 3 older siblings disqualified themselves, Judah receives Jacob's blessing of ascendency while Joseph received the blessing of a double portion - split among his two sons. That's the importance of why Jesus is a descendant of King David, who is a descendant from the line of Judah. Regardless of where we've come from, we are now adopted sons and daughters of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Prayer: Lord, thank You for choosing me... Comments are closed.
