The Less is Blessed of the Better

 “And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭47:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Later, Joseph brought Jacob into the house and presented him before Pharaoh.  And Jacob gave Pharaoh a blessing.  Although Jacob greeted Pharaoh with respect, it was Jacob who blessed Pharaoh not Pharaoh blessing Jacob!  Although he was the highest person on earth, Pharaoh came under the blessing of Jacob.  A refugee from Canaan became the “blesser” of Pharaoh!  With the authority of a prophet, Jacob blessed Egypt’s ruler.  The fact that Jacob blessed Pharaoh proves that he was greater than Pharaoh for without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.  In the new covenant that Jesus Christ made with us, the redeemed of the Lord, we are on this planet to release God’s blessings on the perishing, we are their good news!  Let the Church know that this is the only way that God’s blessings are released on the earth.  We, who are in Christ, are blessed to be a blessing to others.  Amen!
