JACOB ADJUSTS PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIPS
LESSON TEXT—Genesis 33:1-11, 17-20
GOLDEN TEXT—Let us therefore fol
) low after the things which make for peace
| —Romans 14:19.
Eventually a man’s past catches
up with him and he must face his
own record. The Bible says, “Be
sure your sin will find you out”
| (Num. 32:23), and it always does.
Jacob, who had tricked and de
: ceived his brother and had fled into
t a far country, ultimately had to re
■ i turn to his homeland and face Esau.
I The story of what happened makes
up our dramatic and instructive les
, son.
Before Jacob could be permitted
to enter the Promised Land of his
father, he had to meet God. He
needed a thoroughgoing transforma
tion of life and attitude, and he re
ceived it as he wrestled with God
I at Peniel (Gen. 32).
Ultimately the stubborn man had
to yield, and then he found that it
was God who had come to give him
<a groat blessing. How often do we
fight against the goodness and mer
cy of God. Yielding brings bless
ing; Jacob “the supplanter” became j
Israel “prince with God.” He was
j now ready for
I. Reconciliation (vv. 1-7).
After living for 20 years in horror
of meeting Esau, Jacob now learned
that his brother was coming against
* him with an army. He resorted to
I clever strategy, but this time it was
done not in sly crookedness, but in
an open friendly effort to win his
■ brother’s good will.
There is nothing wrong about the
] use of a tactful approach, and it
I really worked for Jacob. His cour- 1
I tesy was shown by his seven bows.
| : His bravery appeared in going out j
I fust. His conciliatory attitude
j showed in his rich gift to his brother.
I Then came a surprise. Esau
proved to lie a loving brother rather
than a hated enemy. Blood does
I count, and men do well to respond
to the promplings of their hearts to
be affectionate toward their breth
ren.
Note Jacob’s pride in presenting
his family. God had blessed him j
and he rejoiced in his fine children.
The scene is typically Oriental, but
j it shows an attitude toward one’s
family which we could well emulate.
| Next, a very practical note en
tered into the reconciliation of the
brethren, namely:
■ 11. Restitution (vv. 8-11).
The gift which Jacob had prepared
for Esau was in the Oriental Iradi
■ tion, and yet it bore also the na
ture of a restoration of something of
that which Jacob had taken from
Esau in defrauding him of his birth
right.
There is a place for proper rcsti- >
tution in every case where we have
wronged another by taking his pos
sessions or destroying his opportu
nities to prosper. Becoming a
Christian is a forgetting of those
things which are behind (Phil. 3:13)
in a spiritual sense, but not in the ig
noring of our obligations to others.
What wo can make right we must
make right if we want God’s bless
ing.
Esau was generous and did not
want the gift, but since it would have
been an affront to his brother to
refuse, he accepted it. There are
proprieties in life and little courte
sies to be observed. Failure at this
point has created much friction even
| between believers. Being a Christian
should make one gentlemanly and
ladylike. Let’s remember that!
Ihen, too, Jacob was wise in put
! Esau under the friendly obliga
i lion which is inherent in the accept
ance of a gift. Those who are stingy
and close-fisted about giving to oth-
I ers often And that their lack of gen
erosity has reflected in their lack of
friends.
The time has come for the broth- i
ers to part, and we find Jacob fall- j
ing into his old trickery as he pre- I
| pares to
111. Return (vv. 17-20).
The portion between verses 11 and
17 indicate that instead of going on
I in straightforward dealings with !
L Esau, Jacob resorts to evasion in
order to be free to go where he
would in his return to his fatherland.
Instead of going back to Bethel
the place of blessing (Gen. 28), to
which Jacob bad been called (Gen.
31:11-13), he went to Succoth and
ultimately to the outskirts of Sbech
cm where his family fell into great
sin. Ultimately, God did get him
back to Bethel (Gen. 35), but only
after much sorrow *md suffering.
Jacob was called to live the life
of a shepherd out in the fields with
God. and when he pitched his tent
near Shechem he compromised and
j lost out.
The incident pictures the tragic re
sult of such folly in our day. Those
who will not move over into the 1
I worldly life want to be close enough
I to it so that their children may have
, 'bo cultural and educational advan
| tages, and soon they find that they
‘ >a\e Ist their children to the world
” ! bave lost the savor of their owt
s 4 .;uuui experience.
