The conversation this episode opens.
Scripture: Genesis 48:1–22
How can we follow Christ faithfully when the story remains unfinished?
By the end of this teaching: Explain the adoption and crossed hands while distinguishing different roles from unequal human worth.
A promise older than the boys
The crossed hands are deliberate
The shepherd has been shepherded
A faithful blessing points beyond the giver
A practice to consider: A fictional parent wants to encourage a child but keeps comparing them with a sibling. How could a truthful blessing change?
