What lessons are we leaving for our children?
Many years after being reunited with his father, Joseph hears word that Jacob's health is failing and the end of his life is near. So Joseph hurries to this father's bedside with his two sons, seeking a blessing from Jacob. But after many years of struggles and trials, what final words does Jacob have to pass on?
This week we read through Genesis 48, and see Jacob bless the sons of Joseph. We'll break down Jacob's words to Joseph and his sons to discover what Jacob now finds most important and the end of his life, and we'll look at the significance of Jacob crossing his hands when blessing Joseph's sons. And then we'll examine our own lives to see what kind of legacy we are leaving for the next generation.
