Genesis 49v29-50v14

We grieve when someone dies but we don't grieve without hope. Jacob gave clear instructions about where he was to be buried. Interestingly it wasn't with his beloved wife Rachel, but instead with his fathers in the promised land. He knew where his future was - with God in his restored creation. Jacob was honoured as a king by the nation of Egypt. From him would come King Jesus who will one day be honoured by all the peoples of the earth.
