15 Then he blessed Joseph and said,
"May the God before whom my fathers
Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd
all my life to this day,
16 the Angel who has delivered me from all harm
—may he bless these boys.
May they be called by my name
and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac,
and may they increase greatly
upon the earth."
This is the blessing that Jacob pronounced on his son Joseph and his two sons. In ancient times the idea of the blessing is a powerful symbol of "passing the torch" to future generations. Older generations served as mentors and examples of faith for the younger generations. Yesterday CTBC celebrated and honored its Senior Adults. They led the congregation in worship while allowing the younger generations to hear their words of faith and testimony. In order for any church or organization to be healthy there must be the smooth passing of the leadership mantle. Senior Adult Sunday was a terrific way for the younger generations to honor the older generations as the mantle of leadership is passed in prayer, service, mentoring, and worship.
