Ep 44 Jacob's Blessing, Gen 27:1-41; 28:3,4

Moses has chosen to describe in vivid detail a very strange event that took place in Isaac's family. With the brilliance of a great storyteller he takes us through a day in which people used lies and deception to steal a spiritual blessing, and the amazing result was that they succeeded! This raises several questions: First, why did Moses take so much care to tell us this story? And the answer must be that he considered this to have been a very important spiritual moment. Second, how is it possible that God would bless someone who lied to take another's blessing? And third, what did God see in Jacob that caused Him to prefer him over Esau? Does God love some and hate others? By studying this passage we'll discover why God has chosen to bless sinners like us and why He does not give the same blessing to others.
