This sermon is part of a series that Charley Eastman of Pilgrim Church and I have been preaching in our two churches this summer. It is about some of the little-known or lesser-known people in the Bible.
Today we are taking a look at Jacob. I took the liberty of reading the story of Jacob and Esau from the Children's Bible--I highly recommend it!
Jacob, one of the central figures in the early history of Israel, was a liar and a cheat. I guess we could call him a trickster, if we had Jungian leanings. He was sort of a likable scoundrel. So how did a person who was not a moral giant, who has no claim on sainthood, come to take up five chapters of the Book of Genesis and become such an important part of our Judeo-Christian tradition.
Aren't you just a little curious?
