(Matt. 6:26).4 . vuk- All through history God has used very weak and feeble human 'beings as instruments for His great work, and there are few more conspicuous instances than Jacob. He was ope of the three patriarch-founders of the human family which God has made peculiarly His own, and from which the Messiahs sprang, Yet Ja­ cob’s .character and career are full of unlovely, selfish, and unyorthy tilings. He was the younger of twins, Esau, being the elder. Before their birth the Lord said to their mother Rebecca, the wife of Isaac: “Two’ nations are in thy womb . . , and the one people shall be stronger than the pther people; and the elder shall birth ‘ heel; cob,” lived years, transformed his character. A characteristic incident occurr­ ed when the brothers were young men. Esau, skillful hunter and man of the field, came home one day ut­ terly tired out, and found Jaco;b with some pottage he ’had just made. Esau asked for some of it, and Ja­ cob made a bargain; ‘‘Sell me this day thy birthright” foj’ the pottage. Esau cansented, was bound by an oath, and Jacob furnished the bread and pottage. This birthright, be­ longing normally to the oldest son, was a matter of spiritual leadership • Esau sold it for fleshy gratification’. Jacob was selfish and grasping, hut in this as in other experiences he showed an appreciation of spiritual values. The years passed and Isaac, their father became an old man, almost blind. out and kill vension and prepare it for him, Rebecca conspired with her son Jacob to deceive Esau and get the father’s blessing, promised to Esau. A savory repast was prepar­ ed ,by Rebecca, .and Jacob carried the deception through, aided by the old man’s blindness. His father gave his .blessing, and when Esau came for this a little later the de­ ception was disclosed. Isaac could not take back the words of blessing pronounced upon Jacob, but gave Esau a lesser blessing; naturally the older brother hated the younger with murder in his heart. Jacob fled for his life to another country, Haran, to the northeast, he .and his mother expecting that he could safe­ ly return soon, but twenty years passed before they saw each other again. On his way as. a fugitive and exile Jacob lay down to sleep one night in the open air,, and had his immor­ tal .dream of a ladder reaching from earth to heaven, while angels of God ascended and descended on it. The ladder was a type of Christ, connecting earth .arid heaven (John 1:51). The Lord appeared and spoke to Jacob as “The Lord God of lri.e ,G?ri of Isaac; the' land wherein thoti liest, to the will I give it, and to thy seed; and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth , . and ip thee and in thy seed shal-l all the families of the earth -be blessed,” Moreover God promised Jacob that ni'ght’ that He was with him, would keep hijn wherever he went, and would him again into this land, Did Jacob deserve this favor God? Far from it; it was grace, and grace is always undeserv­ ed. That is how God made and and makes great' men: by taking those who are wholly undeserving and showering His love upon them until He makes them great. It is the only way any sinful human, be­ ing can become truly great. Jacob called the place where he had his dream Bethel, ‘'the house of God.” The story of Jacob’s twenty years at Haran is extraordinary. As Isaac had hoped, he found there Laban, the brothel* of Rebecca, and fell in love with Laban’s daughter Rachel. By an unscrupulous trick of decep­ tion Laban got Jacob to marry his older daughter Leah, and later gave his. Rachel as his wife, was not unusual though, of course, by God. pair of good things provided Dinner was followed social hour and busi- Addresses were given iserve the younger.” At his ‘‘liis hand took hold on Esau’s and his. name was called Ja- which means Supplanter.

Sons were born to him, his cattle and pro­ perty increased, he became a man of Wealth. Finally God appeared to Jacob again in a dream, calling up­ on him to arise and leave the land of Haran and return to the land of . liis own kindred. This departure was in secret for fear of Laban, who pursued after Jacob when he learn­ ed of his flight. The two men were finally reconciled, and Jacob went' on his way, little realizing wliat lay ahead. He learned that Esau was. coming to meet him with four hundred men and Jacob was afraid now for his life and the lives of his family. He sent presents and messengers ■ahead to appease his brother; and at the ford Jabbok, alone at night, he faced the issue of his life alone with God, ' “.There wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.” He knew not who it was; we know from the Scripture that it was the climax of his lifelong rebellion against God. Finally the unknown man with whom he struggled touch his thigh and it was out of joint; Jacob was helpless. He held on, with the words: “I will not let thee go, except thou ^bless me.” Jacob was now pleading with God for a blessing. He was helpless, and. he knew it. he had come to "the place of full surren- And God heard and and changed his name from Jacob to Israel: “For as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” Then Jacob knew with Whom he had struggled, and called the -place Pen- iel, meaning “the face of God.’ I have seen God face my life is preserved.” When he met Esau the older brother ran embraced him; and kissed him; Jacob’s fears liad^ been groundless. God had done better for him than he had dared to hope; In his old age, one of his young­ est sons, Joseph, who had become Prime Minister of Egyiit, sent for him and all his household, his sons and their families, and cared for Jacob in a .princely way until the bld man died.
