The Patriarchal Blessing

The book of Genesis traces how God’s promises to Abraham were passed from one generation to the next. This pattern of passing on the blessing of the covenant is a key theme in Scripture, culminating in the coming of Jesus Christ and the spread of the gospel to all nations. In this message, Dr. R.C. Sproul considers what we learn about God’s sovereign plan of redemption from the life of Jacob, one of the patriarchs who inherited the Lord’s blessing.
