Genesis 26 The purpose behind our, les- : son tor ,. today is . to encourage adults to examine the story of ' Jacob's dream at Bethel and to learn how God may speak, to us. The verses we are. studying , today are the climax to a story I recorded in tne preceding chap ters. They tell how Jacob had accomplished the supplanting of his brother Esau in acquiring 'both a birthright and a parental blessing. '' These events had aroused Esau's anger and Jacob I was in danger.' Hence, .Jacob's motner urged him to flee 'from the land of Palestine. This he did, and stopping over- night on his journey, he dreamed of a celestial ladder,.' with an Igels ascending and . descending, and of God speaking to him, as- i swing 1 turn : that the covenant . made between God and Abraham 'would .be continued . witn and i through him. When .he awoke, 1 Jacob climaxed this experience .with a vow. of faithfulness to ,God. . . , , HereL:, tne writers of Genesis tell us much about their ideas of . God's nature. Jacob was flee- ing rom the results of nis own heartfesi cunning, in a very real I sense of thinning for his life. Any careful' reading of the ac count denies hint .my .sympathy.. Yet God did not desert him, or 'abandon the - covenant , promised earlier., Despite all ' that Jacob had . done, God did not jbreak I communication, :i : In' this' simple -story we can seB!'he'..gosppl of God's grace, i His - salvation, is steadfast and sure; jie remains faithful., This is the miracle of the : Bible. ! Throughout Hebrew ' history . the people were constantly straying ' ' L M iiL J!-U"l.llM.)tK. . . away iruiii Limit' uviijsdi-iuiAa un der the covenanV'but iGod'g, nearness was .'not M withdrawn. They 1 were neverrejected as hopeless. Rather, God, ' tnrough many varying means,, sought par tiently to bring them back. He deals as freely with us today. : Even ? when we walk Jacob's . path of guilt, his forgiveness is not withdrawn. This is the na ture of the God of BetneL And unworthy as he was, Ja cob - could still recognize the voice of God and respond. He knew that God had given vital ity to the lives of his father and grandfather. In his dream he felt tne presence of this God and knew of the continued covenantal 1 . promises. His re-. sponse was one of reverence be fore the , Holy One. He was ex alted to find . God in the midst of his lonely journey northward, but his own morality could rtot stand the searchlight, of God's holy -nature. Jacob- tesponded by 4eclarinjf ', the place? to ' be; holy; he made a shrine, but evert here his impurities shone through clearly.v a'nd he offered, a bap: gain to God.' Jacob was willing to follow God's direction and to give a tenth of Jiis substance, but ony on condition. If God would gb with him on the long journey, provide food and shel ter, and bring! him home again safely then he would serve him. This was hardly a worthy re sponse. God asks more "than conditional . loyalty based upon our possession of material com- S, forts of life. He asks total de I votion, complete commitment, a response Jacob was as yet un ready ct unable to give. But, .yet, we do find a beginning . here-and where there is veven opfiiMcav i oyeiiuig,. jLrtKf Will- patiently work with it. : I Ihe Bible speaks often of God's appearfence in the ordinary circumstances, ' .r Amos.
