Background of the Story
Jacob and Esau had been fighting each other from the moment they were conceived in their mother’s womb.
God revealed to Rebekah the destiny of her 2 children, especially Jacob’s.
Interestingly, Isaac favored Esau, the firstborn, despite his errors.
But Rebekah favored Jacob, the younger, because of God’s plan.
It was probably through his mother that Jacob developed an intense desire to gain the birthright.
Realization and a Conspiracy
Isaac will not bless anyone except Esau.
The only way for Jacob can take the blessing for himself is to steal it
Jacob must steal his brother’s identity!
Jacob must become Esau!
Jacob and Rebekah conspired to steal Esau’s identity.
Jacob must
Jacob Becomes Esau
How can Jacob become Esau?
Jacob stole Esau’s offering.
Genesis 27.
Jacob put on Esau’s garment.
Genesis 27.15-
Jacob stole Esau’s name!
Genesis 27.18
The Value of a Name
Jacob versus Esau
Jacob’s name was worthless
It was the name of a younger child
It was a name with unfavorable meaning - supplanter
supplant - to replace, supercede, take the place from
IT MUST HAVE BEEN VERY PAINFUL FOR JACOB TO REALIZE HIS NAME CANNOT STAND BEFORE HIS OWN FATHER!
IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD FOR HIM TO DISCARD HIS OWN NAME!
Jacob stands for all of us
Jacob stands for all of us
born sinners!
OUR NAMES HAVE NO MERIT BEFORE GOD!
Esau’s name was worth something
the name of the firstborn!
In the hearing of Isaac only one name is good for him - Esau!
Jesus Christ is the only Name “of value” before God!
Only one “Person” stands righteous and acceptable before God
John
Matthew 17.
Only one Person is “righteous “ before God
Jesus was the “Righteous One”
Only one Name is accepted before God
WE HAVE NO CLAIM BEFORE GOD UNTIL WE STAND BEFORE HIM IN JESUS’ NAME!
Like Jacob, we must discard our own name and hold on to another name!
Who are you, my son?
deny himself - deny your soul, your own identity
Like Jacob, we must bring an offering!
Isaiah 53.10
Like, Jacob we must discard our “garment” and put on Christ’s garment!
2 Cortin
Jesus Christ - Our Firstborn, Our Blessing!
WE STAND HERE TODAY RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD BECAUSE OF THIS ONE NAME - ONE PERSON -
Jacob had to steal Esau’s identity.
Jesus Christ freely offered His name to us!
But Jesus Christ freely offered His name to us!
Rebekah realized some things
John 16.23-24
Jacob did not have to “work” for his blessing - everything was provided for him!
Genesis 27.20-21
Rebekah prepared all his needs
Jacob only had to use his brother’s name!
Jacob did not have to “work for his blessing”!
Jacob was judged graciously!
Genesis 27.21-27
Isaac ignored what he “heard”
Isaac judged by “feeling” and “smelling”
GOD DID NOT JUDGE US BY WHAT HE SAW IN US!
GOD JUDGED US BY HIS “FEELING” FOR US - AND HE FELT US IN CHRIST!
GOD JUDGED US BY HIS “SMELLING” THE SACRIFICE ON OUR BEHALF!
JACOB FINALLY RECEIVES THE BLESSING!
Genesis 27.
In Christ we are blessed with every spiritual blessing!
Conclusion
STOP PUTTING YOUR TRUST IN YOUR OWN NAME.
STOP PUTTING YOUR TRUST IN OTHER PEOPLE’S NAME.
ONLY ONE NAME HOLDS THE KEY TO GOD’S BLESSING FOR YOUR LIFE - JESUS CHRIST!
PUT YOUR TRUST IN HIS NAME!
LAY DOWN YOUR SELF - YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS - BEFORE AND COME UNDER THE NAME OF JESUS!
Philippians 3.1
Philippians 3.
THAT IS HOW YOU CLAIM YOUR BLESSING!
