We are continuing our series What is Your Name: The Life of Jacob.
This series explores the highs and lows of Jacob in Genesis.
Through Jacob’s birth, family conflict, and relationship with God, we see God’s redemptive plan on the move.
God transforms Jacob from a deceptive young man into Israel: the one who wrestles with God.
So far in this series we have look at three different parts of Jacob life.
Week one was the promise from God on the brith and the promise that Jacob would be the one to rule over the his older bother.
When makes a promise it will come true.
Week two was the stolen birthrights.
Esau sold his birthrights because he was hungry.
Don’t chase short-term success.
It will often short-circuit your goals in life.
We must make are decisions based on God’s promised future.
Last week we saw how Jacob deceived is father and stole the blessing that was meant for Esau.
This blessing are different for the birthrights.
Blessing are the promise of future wealth and posterity.
By Jacob deceiving his father and stealing the blessing.
He cause the family to be torn about.
You see Esau wanted to kill Jacob for what he did.
Being deceitful can and will destroy your life.
While we may still receive God’s blessing, trying to achieve the blessing through deceitful means can lead to disastrous results in our personal lives.
This week we will be look at what happen next in Jacob life.
The moment right after he deceived his father.
The moment that Esau wanted to kill him.
What would Jacob do?
If you have your bible turn to Genesis 28.
If you do not have you bibles you can follow along on the screen in a few moments.
Before we look at today passage.
I have a question for you.
SO think for a moment.
Has sin ever taking you in a different direction?
or has sin caused you to run away for what you thought the plan for your life was.
Sin can and will cause us to go a different direction than what we had planned.
It also can destroy the plans that God has for our life.
God can not look upon sin.
If we have sin in our life that cause us to go in a different direction can God still use us?
Are we still worthy of the plan that God has.
You see Jacob had sinned.
He had deceived is father and his bother.
Jacob cause his bother to want to kill him becuase of what Jacob had done.
We pick up the life of Jacob right here.
Jacob depart to Rebekah bother house
for the time reason today we will not be read the first few verse of this chapter.
In a nut shell.
Isaac blesses Jacob and sends him on his way to Rebekah bother house and tell him to marry one of his daughters.
You see because of the sin in Jacobs life up to this point he had to leave the promised land of that God had give to Abraham.
Sin has totally missed up the plans that should have happened.
What will happen now.
Can God still use Jacob?
Is Jacob still able to receive the promises of God?
Jacob had a dream
this is one crazy dream right.
He dream of a stairway with angels going up and down.
This dream could suggest that angels reqularly visit earth to do Gods work.
This is one hack of a dream that he is having.
Jacob hears from God
All the sin that was in Jacob life God could have said that he wanted nothing to do with Jacob.
He could have said that you are not worthy of my love and I do not need you.
God didn’t say any of that he said that you offspring will be like dust on the earth spreading for west to east and north to south.
He also promised to ever leave him and to bring him back to the land that he left.
there is also another key statement here.
Lets take a loo at it one more time.
Genesis 28:14 (CSB)
All the peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.
We are blessed because of this.
Do you know why? Jesus was one of his offspring many years later.
this is how the people of earth are blessed and continue to be blessed.
Jacob turns back to God
God did not renege on his promise to Jacob, even though Jacob had to leave his home because of his sins.
He did not have to leave his God because of the sin.
He knew that God was real and that he would protect him.
No matter what you have done.
God still loves you.
Jacob’s encounter with God reminds us that God’s love is not based on our morality but on his faithfulness.
Jesus can still forgive you for whatever you have done.
