“Unstable
as water, you shall not excel.” Genesis 49:4
Families often are able to gather
around loved ones who will soon be entering eternity. What last words might
they say? Will it be something that we will always remember? In Genesis 49,
Jacob is on his deathbed and his children have all gathered around. He begins
with Reuben, his first born, and the message begins well. But it doesn’t end
well. Jacob laid out his son’s character, unstable as water and wicked sinner,
then he told him he would not be considered the first born.
Someday we will all stand before
God. Some will stand before God and hear Him say, I welcome you in Jesus’ Name.
For all the rest the books will be opened and their works will be revealed.
What a lot of people will want to hear won’t be heard. But for those who have come
in faith to Jesus Christ and received His forgiveness of sins, the welcome will
be wonderful. What kind of last words do you plan to receive?
Dear Father, Thank You that in
Christ my past is dead and I am alive. Amen.
