Divine Encounter: III. The Blessing—
Craig Courtney. The third movement of the
trilogy Divine Encounter is a newly composed
benediction based on the traditional text from
Numbers 6:24-26. As Jesus blessed and
multiplied the fish and bread, so God blesses
the offering we bring to Him. The melody, which
is one huge arc, is stated twice, creating a
simple, sincere message of peace and rest.
