The Promise Endures // 14 The Promise Endures - Matt Carvel // Genesis 33-1-20

As we bring the series to a close, we reflect on Jacob’s life and realise that he hasn’t really changed that much! Despite all the encounters with God, he is not as mature or trusting in God as he perhaps should be. But his unexpected reconciliation with Esau shows that it is God’s faithfulness and grace that underpins his life and causes it to be ‘successful’, not his own efforts.
