What does blessing mean?

The Hebrew word beracha means a power for life and prosperity that comes from God. Who blesses asks God to give this power to another. The oldest and best known blessing in the Bible is the Aaronite blessing, which God gives Moses for the priests: “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace” (4. Moses 6,24-26). It is still spoken today at the end of almost every church service.

Being a blessing

God says to Abraham: “and bless you … and you shall be a blessing” (1. Moses 12,2). Blessing is therefore not meant to be kept, but to be passed on. Jesus goes even further: “Bless them that curse you” (Luke 6,28). Anyone can bless – parents their children, friends one another, guests their hosts. A blessing verse on a birthday or farewell card is a beautiful form of this. Further verses you will find at Bible verses as a travel blessing, Bible verses for birthdays, Bible verses for farewells and Bible verses for cards.
