Genesis 49:2, 8-10
2 “Gather round, sons of Jacob. And listen to your father Israel!
8 Judah, your brothers will praise you!
You shall seize your enemies by the neck!
Your father’s sons shall bow before you.
9 Judah, a young lion!
You return from the prey, my son!
Like a lion he stoops and crouches,
and like a lioness, who dares to rouse him?
10 The scepter shall not be taken from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
until he comes to whom it belongs,
and who has the obedience of the nations.
You Beloved, are the King that the world waited for with baited breath. A Ruler who would save all men and crush the enemy. You rule the world with love and thus You bring down the mighty with humility. Love that was born in a stable and that was ultimately nailed on the Cross, who could resist such love.
