The Aetherlight Episode 2 Family Planنموونە

Coming Together

Jacob's experience was unique, and yet it tells us something about God. He actually wants to encounter us, to wrestle with us, even if it hurts. God is prepared to meet us where we are, in the middle of what we are going through, to pronounce blessing - although what that means in our context may differ from what we expect.

Something to think about while you are reading today’s passage:

This passage jumps us out of Genesis for a moment to consider what Jacob's experience might mean for us. Jesus is where humanity and God meet completely. He makes it possible for us to encounter God and demonstrates what that looks like. How can you see the wrestling that Jacob did represented in Christ?

Something to talk about with players of The Aetherlight:

In the game, Julian is on the run once more, and the Scarlet Man again meets him in the middle of the chaos. How do you think encountering God happens in our moments of struggle? How could Jesus be present when we are at the end of our rope?
