Esau and Jacob were twin brothers born into a wealthy
family. Esau lived a life of rebellion as he chose to despise his
birthright and marry ungodly women. When his time on earth was
almost over, he was bitter and full of regret at the realization
that he had lived for himself and God would not forgive him. Jacob
did not start out well either. He fled after stealing Esau's
birthright but he had a supernatural encounter with God and made the
decision to trust the Lord with his life. Twenty years later Jacob
had another supernatural encounter as he wrestled with Jesus and
would not let go until he had been blessed. Unlike Esau, he was
satisfied that he had fulfilled the course that God had set before
him. Jacob and Esau made earthly choices that affected their eternal
destiny. We don't often think about death when we're young but it
becomes more prevalent as we grow older and our time on earth
grows short. It is a fact that ten out of ten people die. What are
you doing to prepare for eternity? Will you have a glorified body or
a body of shame? The choice is yours. |
