Destiny | Genesis 49

He grew up in a complicated family. He endured betrayal, hardship, injustice, and isolation. Yet in one of the Bible’s most dramatic reversals, Joseph rose to a place of power and authority, delivering God’s people and preserving the covenant family. In this series, we explore Genesis 37-50, following the story of God's providence in the life of a “beloved son" who prefigures a Greater Son to come.

Every human being needs a sense of direction and destiny. In Genesis 49, Jacob imparts a sense of destiny to his sons... and in the process, shows us the future of all of humanity.
