    Jacob needed to deepen his relationship with God. He also needed an object lesson that would teach him some things about the way he related to God. Because Jacob needed a change. Most of us need that too, both the lesson and often the change.

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Thirty-Two. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 32 The angels of God meet Jacob: he sends messengers to Esau, with presents, to soften him. Jacob wrestles all night ...read more
