Choice Vine


Genesis 49:11-12 ESV
11 Binding his foal to the vine 

and his donkey's colt to the choice vine, 

he has washed his garments in wine 

and his vesture in the blood of grapes. 

12 His eyes are darker than wine, 

and his teeth whiter than milk. 

Jacob blesses Judah and speaks of the coming of Jesus. The choice wine referred to here implies a reddish color, speaking to the spilling of Jesus' blood and the wine of the new kingdom. It is our choice to drink from the loving cup.
