Today we’ll see Jacob entering his former home, no longer a boy but a grown man with two wives and nearly a dozen children. As he does he is seeking reconciliation with another, his brother Esau. If you remember their story, it was Jacob who was the cheater and trickster in that relationship. And when he fled more than twenty years before, Esau was filled with rage and after blood. As you listen, imagine the nervousness with which Jacob stepped into dangerous territory. But before he encounters Esau, we’ll see him face another man.
