What's in the Bible? A First-Timer's Journey

Day 16 – Wrestling, Rest, and Righteous Anger


Listen Later

Jacob wrestles with God and walks away changed—literally. Esau surprises us with forgiveness, but Dinah’s story takes a violent turn that raises deep questions about justice and revenge. In the New Testament, Jesus praises John the Baptist, confronts unrepentant cities, and offers rest for the weary. Psalm 14 reminds us that none are righteous without God, and Proverbs reflects on the wisdom woven into creation.

Today’s episode explores what it means to surrender, to seek justice without vengeance, and to find rest in Jesus.
