A Nation’s Mindset

Text: Genesis 25: 29-34

• “Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary. And Esau came to Jacob, please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary. Therefore his name was called Edom. But Jacob said, sell me your birthright as of this day. And Esau said, Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me. Then Jacob said, swear to me as of this day. And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose and went his way. Thus Esau sold his birthright.”

The God of Jacob• All Christians claim Jacob’s

Geneology• We Claim His Blessings• We Praise Him for Wrestling

With God• We Credit Him With Craftiness• We Vilify Esau

How Many Christians Want Jacob’s Cross ?

Why do all Christians Align towards Jacob?

Answer: Genesis 25: 23-28• “ But the children struggled together within

her; and she said, if all is well, why am I like this? So she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said to her: two nations are in your womb, two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, and the older shall serve the younger. So when her days were fulfilled, indeed there were twins in her womb.”

Answer: Genesis 25: 23-28• “And the first came out red. He was like a

hairy garment all over, so they called him name Esau. And afterward his brother came out, and his hand tool hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was Jacob.

• 27. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents. And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
