JACOB'S MEETING WITH ESAU.
LESSON TFXT-On SMS.
GOLDKN TKXT "B ye kind on to

TVe are about to lose tight of Jacob.
cheat " tad we shall hereafter con
alder Israel, "a prince." While Jacob
la not so grand a character as Abra
ham nor so lovable as Isaac, yet he
la much more like the average man.
The story of hla days of willing serv
Ice for Rachel (29:20); of La ban's
deception and of his prosperity in
spite of Laban. can be found In chap
ters 29 and 30. while that of his re
turn to Canaan is contained in chap
ters 31-35. Though not included id
the selected portion of Scripture, we
do not see how anyone can teach this
lesson and omit the consideration of
chapter 32. We therefore see before
ns (1) Jacob's diplomacy. 32:1-8; (!)
Jacob's prayer. 32:9-12: (3) Jacob's
present to Esau. 32:13 23, and (4)
Jacob's wrestling, 32:24-32.
A finger tip of God disabled Jacob,
yet vanquished he is victorious for
God the angel of Jehovah has tak
en from this double-dealing, crafty
child that which hindered all that
was truest in his life. Not by com
pelling hut by yielding was Jacob en
larged; by submitting he found th
throne of power. So much In prepa
ration for the lesson of today.
Not a Coward.
I. The Approach w. 1-3. Jacob
had Just had a vision of God (32:30);
why, then, should he fear the face of
his brother? Even so, however, he
continued his measures of precaution
and separated his children into Leah
and Rachel and sent the handmaids
and their children ahead. Notice how
be places his most loved in the rear
of the procession which he himself
led. Jacob was not a coward and. In
deed, with his new-found power he1
had no need to be. Before he had
Hed from the face of his angry broth
er, now with boldness, and yet with
humility, he enters the presence ol
that same brother even though h
had had no assurance as to the char
acter of that meeting.
II. The Meetlrfa-w- 4-11. Twenty-one
years had passed, days of
great testing but of great blessing,
before Jacob bean this homeward
Journey. Jacob had learned the "up
ward look" (v. 1) and his prevailing
prayer brought Esau to him in haste
but not In anger. Now Esau lifts up
bis eyes (v. 5) and beholds not the
fugitive of old, but a transformed,
prosperous and richly blessed broth
er. "Who are those with thee?" he
asks, and Jacob at once acknowledges
God as the giver and the blesser.
(See 32:26; Jas. 1:17.) Jacob fipeaka
of his children as God's gracious gifts.
Although this is everywhere the
teaching of the Bible, yet how often
is It the modern view, at least In
many circles of society. Following
the children came the handmaids and
their children, then Leah and her
children, and last of all Rachel and
Joseph. At once Esau inquires as to
those gifts Jacob had sent ahead (32:
13-21), and Jacob replies, "That 1
might find grace in the sight of my
Lord." It Is well to notice that Esau
refused this gift (v. 11) as a purchase
price of reconciliation.
Jacob Astute.
From the marginal reading we see
that Jacob's words when urging Esau
to accept his gift were: "Because I
have all." Every child of God can
truthfully say as much. (I Cor. 3:21;
Phil. 4:18, 19; Rom. 8:31, 32.) Thus
we see the astute Jacob who had so
arranged his affairs as to make gifts
or not as might be necessary is sur
prised, not as at Bethel when he met
God, but to find that God had so
moved upon the hear of his brother
as to remove for a time at least all
danger.
ITI. The Separation, vv. 12-15. We
Infer from a study of Esau's life that
Jacob did not deem It safe to make
the proposed journey. 'Discretion is
the better part of valor." God does
not demand nor desire rashness and
needless danger upon the part of his
children.
There are three main teachings In
this lesson, aside from those of the
preceding chapter. (1) That in mat-
l Til (J VI DUSi J HIV 1 III put VUII VV (U
life of any man God is Interested and
ready to lend his assistance. Jacob
ready to lend his assistance.
(2) There is the lesson that while
men with anxiety seek to make plans
tor the Kingdom it is only as they
ully commit themselves to him and
How him to dominate and to guide
'ill they spell success In their lives,
i (3) And lastly, when God controls,
hen he has the victory In our
'arts and our lives, he not only
iangea the attitude of our enemies
, wards us but changes our attitude
Jwtrds them. (Rom. 11:20, 21.)
