Throughout the Psalms, we see a picture of Christ that awakens praise and worship. These Psalms summon us to stand in awe and adoration of the King of Kings. 

When we approach the deeper meaning behind Jacob’s dream of a stairway the Heaven in Genesis 28, we are confronted with the grace of God in the life of Jacob. When God speaks, we find a truth that can give us rest in our loneliest days. When we discover the deeper meaning behind the stairway itself, we see Christ at the center of it all.

What are the dangers of disregarding Scripture’s most difficult passages? Confronting concepts that challenge us in Scripture helps us cultivate lives that ward off superficiality, define our allegiances, and helps us rest in the sovereignty, wisdom and goodness of God. The story of Jacob and Esau plunges us into gospel depths that leaves us reaching for rescue and thankful for God’s grace.

So often, we read our history as if the only lessons to learn are negative. Genesis 24 unfolds a practical example for us to follow, yet points us to something deeper still. How does the marriage of Rebekah and Isaac point us to a greater wedding supper to come?
