Main Idea: Jacob and Esau (Genesis 25; 27)

Summary
  • Isaac and Rebekah had twin sons, Esau and Jacob. Esau was born first, so he had a special gift called a birthright. Jacob wanted that special gift. One day, Esau traded his gift for a bowl of soup!
  • When Isaac was old, he wanted to bless Esau. Rebekah told Jacob to wear Esau’s clothes. Jacob covered his arms with goatskin to be hairy like Esau.
  • Rebekah made a tasty meal, and Jacob took the meal to his father. Isaac could not see well, so he said, "Are you Esau?" Jacob said, "I am."
  • Jacob tricked his father, and Isaac blessed Jacob. Esau was very angry with Jacob.

Main Idea: Jealousy and pride lead us to make selfish decisions. (Genesis 25-27)

Summary
Rebekah and Isaac had twin boys – Esau and Jacob. Esau was the first to be born, so he was given a gift known as a birthright. Jacob wanted it, so manipulated Esau into selling his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of soup! Jacob then tricked Isaac into giving him Esau’s blessing as well! Esau was not happy.

Review Questions
  1. How can jealousy and pride lead us to make sinful decisions?
  2. When we experience jealousy and pride, what does that reveal to us about our trust in God?
  3. From Life Group Discussion: What does this story show us about the type of people God chooses to use? Despite their sin, God used them to continue the promise, which included the Messiah coming through their lineage.
