How much of our past mistakes and bad decisions are we held accountable for? Can we ever overcome them? Did the blood of Jesus separate us from any consequences of these mistakes or bad decisions? It might be nice to just think everything got washed away, but then there is a problem looking at Genesis 49. Jacob's "blessings" over his first three sons were more of a curse, and all three stemmed from a mistake they made in their younger days. What was spoken over them came about, so here is one of the big questions we will take on tomorrow night in the midweek service. In God's eyes will I always be under the affects of my past bad decisions? How is it that Jacob doesn't even mention what they all did to Joseph? If they were not held accountable for that, what made these mistakes so much greater or unable to be overcome? Were mistakes like theirs overcome by others?
