The Aetherlight Episode 2 Family PlanSample

It's Wrestling Time!

Think about what Jacob is walking into: Last time he was home, his brother was plotting his murder. He will be pretty on edge as that reunion approaches. What would you do to release some of that tension? Would hitting the gym or going for a walk help? It seems Jacob could use a workout, but he gets more than he bargained for.

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

We sometimes talk about a 'David and Goliath' struggle to describe an unfair fight, but how much more unbalanced is this?! Consider that while God could have overpowered Jacob in a heartbeat, He chose to tussle with him all night. God came close and made Jacob's struggle personal. God actually wants us to encounter him for ourselves!

Something to talk about with players of The Aetherlight:

During the climax of the race on the Copper Petal, Julian wrestles with the Scarlet Man. Talk about what might have happened if he didn't appear then and what it means to 'wrestle with God.'
