"JESUS IS OUR FUTURE
JULY 7, 2024
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.
By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons, and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his bones. - HEBREWS 11:20-22
· Isaac blesses Jacob & Esau – Genesis 27
· Jacob blesses Joseph’s sons – Genesis 48
· Joseph gives instructions about his bones – Genesis 50:21-26
THE BLESSING:
“May the Lord establish you like Ephraim and Manasseh, May God bless you and protect you.” - Genesis 48:20
WHAT’S YOUR PLAN?
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. – Deuteronomy 6:4-9
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”
- Numbers 6:24-26
