FOUNDATION: Reconciliation
Reconciliation between Jacob and Esau was affirmed at their unforeseen reunion. It’s a true-life story that ends well. The relationship between the twin brothers remained amicable during their lifetime.
Esau Was Coming with Four Hundred Men (Genesis 33:1-7)
We are not told what specific outcome Jacob expected. None-the-less, God answered his prayer by changing Esau’s mind—by replacing his vengeful attitude with one of conciliation. What Jacob had dreaded for two decades never materialized!
I Will Make Them One Nation in the Land (Ezekiel 37:21-28)
“Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land.”
I will not let You go unless You bless me! (Genesis 32:24-28)
While the uniqueness of the situation cannot be overstated, his new name, Israel, is a powerful testimony of Jacob’s character, influence and struggle with God.
God Has Seen My Affliction (Genesis 31:36-42)
Jacob quickly learned that survival required staying one step ahead of his uncle’s manipulative and conniving schemes.
