Genesis 27:41-28:9
September 7, 2003
Finish the story
Last week - the stealing of the blessing
This week - the aftermath
Esau is furious - threatens murder 41
Rebekah creates a second plot 42-46
Isaac blesses Jacob and sends him away 28:1-5
Esau - too little too late 6-9
1. We could speak of the consequences of sin
even for those under the promises of God, sin has consequences
2. We could speak of failure to learn from our mistakes
- Rebekah fails to learn from her manipulation
- Esau fails to learn from his sin
3. We need to speak of the same truth we learned last week.
When God chooses to bless nothing stands in His way
3-5 Isaac gives Jacob the covenant
6-9 Esau aligns himself with those outside of the covenant blessing
