    Jacob had left home and a very angry brother 20 years earlier. Now his brother, Esau, was coming to meet Jacob with 400 armed soldiers. Jacob was probably expecting a final (!) good bye but not the "hello!' Esau gave him!

However, it is not just the weak that live in fear, some great men live in fear. Illus: God said of Job’s ...read more
