An unimportant son, the
fourth
of twelve, one to be lost for the ages;
God used Judah to pave the
way
for His only Holy One.
An unruly teen, poor husband
too
and an even poorer father;
God brought forth from Judah
His only begotten Son.
Instrumental in selling his
brother
into foreign hands to die;
God tied humanity's promised
destiny
to Judah's long line of kings.
With little hope that Judah
the man
would amount to very much;
God provided through sinful
Judah
the world's King of all things.
God broke through Judah's
sin, showing
no one is beyond His reach;
God softened his oh so hardened
heart
and made it beat for others.
God blessed mankind through
Judah
bringing in line His Anointed;
God made Judah's whole life
story
more than a tale of 12 brothers.
Judah's life and living became
the plan
for the world's promised freedom;
Judah's turning became the
model for
the redemption of all humanity.
God used earth's most unimportant
son,
one we would pay no mind;
To bring in the its most
important one,
Jesus, Messiah, King for eternity.
Genesis 49 |
