Jakob's Night is:
|
Jakob's Night Night was falling and Jakob was on the run. His brother, Esau, with four hundred armed men, would soon overtake him. All his life, Jakob had been a deceiver and now, once again, he plotted to outwit his way out of his brother's wrath. Scared and alone, Jakob sensed a man behind him. Little did he know that this man would change his life. All night they fought, Jakob struggling as he never had before. His life of trickery played through his mind. If he could just be spared this night, he would right all the wrongs, put the deceit behind him-he would become a new man. But as they fought, the assailant did something no ordinary man, not even a warrior like Esau, could do. With a touch, Jakob's hip was thrown out of socket. At that moment, Jakob no longer struggled against the "man" but clung to him, not letting him go, pleading for a blessing. On the night that Jakob wrestled with God, his past was erased and his name was changed. From Jakob to Israel, "Supplanter" to "One who struggles with God." He became a new creation! This is the purpose and plea of Jakob's Night! READ MORE>>> |
