We examine the biblical narrative of Jacob blessing his grandsons, Ephraim and Manasseh, as a profound illustration of divine sovereignty and generational faithfulness. By deliberately crossing his hands to favour the younger son, Jacob demonstrates that God’s purposes are not restricted by human traditions or natural birthrights. The texts emphasise that spiritual adoption into God's family is a permanent act of grace facilitated by a mediator, mirroring how believers are brought to the Father through Jesus Christ. Jacob’s retrospective gratitude for God’s lifelong guidance serves as a testimony of reliability, assuring future generations that the divine covenant remains secure. Ultimately, the materials suggest that God's plans transcend human logic, ensuring that His promises outlive any single individual to sustain a continuous line of faith.

Welcome to Know Surrender—a podcast about learning what it truly means to surrender to Jesus Christ. Not in defeat, but in devotion. Here we explore scripture, history, and the call to follow Christ with heart, mind, and life. To know surrender… is to know Him.
