Nice! Thank You!

Every time I open up the Bible I ask God to give me knowledge and understanding. I love the word. It’s not just a book this is spiritual. It’s Gods words

This was such an important video for you to have made, I’m glad you made it! And that I watched it!! How inspiring

Very revealing, as always. Until now, I thought the reason chapter 38 was there was to contrast Judah's lust with Joseph's chastity in the next chapter, Gen 39, when he rejects Potiphar's wife. Now I see that there are more subtleties, and I'm still thinking about the implications. Thanks, and keep going.

Chris, I'm studying Gen 29 right now. There's a really interesting parallel between a) the way Jacob interacts with the shepherds regarding the well at which they water their flocks and b) the way Jacob rushes into a relationship with Laban to get Rachel. Both involve Jacob trusting in his own sight and strength in contrast to faith in God and his power. In the first situation, he rather rudely tells the shepherds to water the flocks and pasture them immediately. He doesn't know the tradition they have which works well for them in that culture. In the second situation, he rather brazenly kisses Rachel and celebrates finding her without understanding a) she isn't a very godly woman and b) the culture doesn't allow her to marry him before Leah and c) he shouldn't trust Laban. I got to this because I was struggling with how much description there is about the flocks in the opening of ch. 29. Usually the Bible doesn't get into technicalities about how certain cultures pasture their flocks. But that matters because in both cases, there are traditions Jacob is blind to, which cause him to overstep. The only way Jacob could successfully navigate this situation would be if he were a) more wise about cultural differences, b) more humble in his own attitude, and c) more trusting in God's provision. His behavior reminds me of Isaac's blindness in ch. 28 as he is taken advantage of for his lack of awareness and trust in God too. In a way, Jacob is getting a taste of his own medicine. Finally, the biggest contrast to Jacob's failure to deal wisely with people and trust God for help in this chapter is the faithful servant of Abraham in ch. 24, who was both wise, humble, and faithful when he chose a wife for Isaac. He picks a godly woman based on God's provision rather than based purely on trusting in his own sight.

Is this channel part of your job at hope media?

Question, what was Jesus saying when he stated "I come in my Fathers name" ?
