All Things New

Genesis 34 was a dark and shameful chapter in Jacob’s life, but his story doesn’t end there. In the next chapter, the Lord mercifully speaks into his life, calling him to repentance. Jacob is given another chance to fulfill his vow, to renew his devotion, and to live out his new identity as Israel. The Lord’s unremitting commitment to bless this flawed figure – to love the unlovely – has been the central theme of this story of grace.
