Life’s struggles are common to all. In this portion of Jacob’s life he suffers three tragedies in short order: the death of his beloved nanny Deborah, the tragic and unexpected death of his beloved wife Rachel, and finally the death of his father Isaac. Jacob’s dysfunctional family set aside their differences and gave Isaac a proper burial.
After the terrible massacre at Shechem, Jacob and his family recognize their need to repent before God and walk faithfully with him again. Jacob finally makes good on his vow to return to Bethel. In a beautiful picture of repentance and heartfelt worship, the family puts away their idols, consecrates themselves to God and offers sacrifice.
In our next passage, Jacob foolishly moves his family to the Canaanite town of Shechem. After their sister Diana is violated, the brothers take matters into their own hands, bringing yet another threat to the well being of God’s people.
After 20 years of absence from his homeland, Jacob finally faces his brother Esau. The last time they were together Esau threatened to murder Jacob for cheating him out of his birthright. Jacob has received word that Esau is coming with 400 men. Will this meeting be defined by revenge or reconciliation? This week we will finally find out!
