QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS
- Discuss the ways in which Jacob reminded Joseph of the promises of God and his inheritance in Canaan. How might this apply to the Christian today?
- Discuss the testimony of Jacob concerning his sons. What can we learn from the negative remarks delivered to Ruben, Simeon and Levi? How would the blessings pronounced upon Judah be fulfilled in King David and in the Messiah?
- Jacob’s hope was not in Canaan ultimately, but in God and Christ. He knew that he would go on living after death and would one day enjoy Canaan in the new heavens and earth. How do we know that this was the faith of Jacob? (See Romans 4 and Hebrews 11, for example)
