Who Are You?

Esau and Jacob provide insights into God’s call and His grace over mankind. Jacob was born grabbing; he grabbed his twin brother’s birthright and deceived their father into giving him the blessing. Jacob’s life is a journey of hardship and deception that led him to God’s amazing grace. He was blessed not because he had grabbed, but because of God’s grace and mercy. God gave Jacob a new name – Israel – because he wanted Jacob to see his true identity in grace. We can see the grace of God in His plan for us by looking up, looking in, and looking around.
