Session 154: Genesis 25:19 - 27:37
25:23(b) God’s plan is not always in line with man’s plan. (“The older shall serve the younger.”) We frequently see God choose a less likely leader...here, OT Joseph, David, etc.)
25:28 Parents, don’t favor one child over the other: it will cause problems for all involved, and the family as a whole
25:31-34 Don’t sacrifice long-term results (including your eternal life!) for immediate gratification! (Esau)
26 Your children are far more likely to follow your actions than your words!
(Isaac’s lie, learned from Abraham.)
26:34 Esau married outside the faith; this is a problem! (See v.46) Also, Esau didn’t care about his birthright (25:34) Perhaps these are reasons why God chose Jacob?
27 Jacob and Rebekah didn’t NEED to deceive Isaac; God had already decreed Jacob’s future in 25:23. None of the 4 characters prayed before the deception.
27:28 Jacob’s blessing had a Eucharistic parallel, as did Abraham’s before him 14:18. The OT frequently points to the Eucharist. (A point I failed to make on the recording!)
