MEDITATION

Genesis 27:35-36

35 But he said, “Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.”
36 And Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now look, he has taken away my blessing!” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”

MEANINGFUL APPLICATION TO LIFE

1. Realization that came too late

a. Jacob had come with deceit. Isaac had been deceived!
b. He had taken away the first-born blessing.

2. Esau’s response

a. Jacob
i. He was frustrated.
ii. He was in great anger.
iii. Jacob’s name was rightly chosen. He was a supplanter!
b. He had supplanted Esau on two occasions:
i. His birthright.
ii. His firstborn blessing.

3. Pleading with Isaac

a. Was there only one blessing to give?
b. Wasn’t there another blessing Isaac could give?

4. Esau’s problem

He had not understood that he had despised his birthright in the first place! He had shown little or no spiritual understanding of what the first-born blessing really meant.

经文:创世记 27:35-36

沉思

《创世记 27:35-36》
35 以撒说:“你兄弟已经用诡计来将你的福分夺去了。”

36 以扫说:“他名雅各,岂不是正对吗?因为他欺骗了我两次。他从前夺了我长子的名分,你看,他现在又夺了我的福分。”以扫又说:“你没有留下为我可祝的福吗?”

在生活里有意义地应用

1. 太迟的发现

a. 雅各用了诡计。以撒受欺骗了!
b. 他拿走了长子的福分

2. 以扫的反应

a. 对雅各的反应
i. 他很烦躁
ii. 他很生气
iii. 雅各的名字取对了。他的确是一个欺骗者!
b. 他欺骗了以扫两次
i. 他的名分
ii. 他身为长子的福分

3. 恳求以撒

a. 难道只有一份福分吗?
b. 以撒能够多赐一份福分吗?

4. 以扫的问题

他不明白是他先轻看他的名分!他对长子的福分的这个概念几乎没有属灵的理解。
