As We Gather: When people are asked to name a human who
made a significant impact on the history of God's people, most will
think of Abraham or Moses or David before they get around to
thinking about Jacob. Yet Jacob is bestowed an honor not given to
anyone else; he is renamed Israel, a name passed down to God's
people from that point forward. What is it about Jacob that makes
him worthy of this honor? Well, as we will learn today, the
blessing bestowed on Jacob says less about who he is and more about
who God is. He does not give as we deserve, but gives out of His
abundant grace and mercy!
