"Forefathers: Judah: The Promise of a Lion" - Genesis 49:8-12, 12/22/24

The patriarchs of Genesis are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These are the direct ancestors in the Messianic genealogy that leads to Jesus. Interestingly, the longest story in the book of Genesis actually involves Joseph, a man who was not a direct ancestor of Jesus. But it’s because of Joseph and his story that the line would be preserved when it faced one of its greatest threats.
