Reading
Genesis 25 and 27
Questions
1. The third problem Jacob faced that could have fueled his disinterest in his sons was guilt. It is hard to deal with sin in others, even in your own children, when you have not dealt with that same sin in your own life! What does 1 John 1:9 promise to those who confess their sin?
2. If we do not seek forgiveness from God and the ones we have sinned against, we will live in constant guilt and be too ashamed to confront those same sins in others' lives. What happened in Jacob's past with Esau that made it hard for him to deal with the hatred, anger, and jealousy between his sons and his wives? (Genesis 27)
3. Jacob's sons lied to him and deceived him about Joseph's death. Can you remember a time when Jacob lied to and deceived his own father? What happened? (Genesis 27)
4. Even though Joseph did not have a perfect role model as a father, he did not copy and repeat his father's mistakes. Joseph had the character to make choices that pleased God. Are you using a tough home situation as an excuse for not doing right?
Like Joseph, you can be diffent. Strive to be like Christ and keep your focus on Him, and not on others.
