Esau and Secondhand Blessings (Genesis 27:1-46)
Joseph J Graber, May 28, 2017Part of the Genesis series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
As the firstborn son, Esau had a right to the blessing and the inheritance, but when he despised his birthright he lost the blessing also. Scripture doesn't seem to chide Jacob for deceiving his brother, but it does take Esau to task for despising his birthright.
Each of us has a choice, taking full advantage of our birthright in Jesus Christ, or despising it and only receiving secondhand blessings.
