Genesis 25:19–34 & 27:1–46 "God's Plans, Our Scams"

Every Christian wrestles serious uncertainties about the future. In the Jacob and Esau story, Scripture has a warning and an encouragement. The warning is to those who mimic [1] Isaac and Esau. They rebel altogether against God’s plans because their spiritually nearsighted. The warning is also to those who mimic [2] Rebekah and Jacob, who do plan ahead, but with deception. But the encouragement is that Christ’s dominion as King enables us to rest in His plans with integrity.
