Jacob: The Struggle for Blessing #1 - The Struggle for Blessing

Jacob longs for his father’s love, so he dresses as Esau and takes the blessing meant for his brother. Yet Isaac’s words bring no peace because he blesses the person Jacob pretends to be, and the deceit tears their family apart. God’s grace works through this broken scene, and Isaac finally accepts God’s choice of the undeserving younger son. Jesus takes the curse sinners deserve and shares His blessing as the firstborn Son with believers, freeing them to stop hiding and bless others honestly.
