Jacob wanted a blessing, but God wanted a confession first.
Genesis 32
Sometimes God takes us through a crisis to help us see who we really are. Jacob tricked Esau out of his birthright and used lies to get ahead in the world. But when he met God—and wrestled with Him—he finally admitted that he was a cheater and a liar. And after his confession, God changed Jacob’s name to Israel.
In this message, Pastor Lutzer gives us three lifechanging lessons that Jacob learned, and that we too need to learn. It all starts with asking ourselves, “Who am I in God’s presence?”
