The Suitable Blessing
“…This is what their father said to them as he blessed
them, blessing each with the blessing suitable to him…”
(Genesis 49:28)
Introduction: “Why, that’s not at all like a socialistic agenda of ‘share and share alike'”! 49:28 certainly grounds the lesson. But, can this be how God operates?
1.           Consider from whom the blessing comes (49:1-2)
2.           Consider the beauty of a blessing (49:13,21)
3.           Consider consequential nature of blessing (49:3-4)
4.           Consider the Lord in the blessing (49:22-26)
5.           Consider Judah (49:8-12)!
Conclusion: The message of suitable blessing holds relevance to all who are able to identify with the biblical people of God.
