This weeks topic was Jacob and Esau who were twin brothers that quarreled with one another in their mother's womb. God chose Jacob over Esau before either of them had done anything good or bad. In Genesis 25, verses 12 through 34 the promise was given to Rebekah in the oracle that the older was going to serve the younger. Isaac deliberately fighting against the sovereignty of God, deliberately determining with all his might to give the blessing to his favorite son, Esau, in spite of the oracle given to Rebekah. The moral of the story is this. God's grace does not triumph because of us, but in spite of us.
