Stolen Blessing - Genesis 27
Everyone in this chapter sins. Isaac is physically blind, but worse he is blind to the will of God. Esau has sold his birthright and seeks revenge when his brother steals the blessing. Rebekah, knowing the God has decreed Jacob to be blessed, uses her own cunning to accomplish God's purpose. Jacob, is willingly and knowingly complicit in expediting his mother's scheme, supplanting his brother and grasping his father's blessing. Yet, in spite of all this, God's sovereign purpose is fulfilled. Man's sin neither thwarts nor obviates divine providence!
