In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will dive into Genesis 28, following Jacob's journey after deceiving his father, Isaac, and fleeing his brother Esau. They explore Jacob's character as a "schemer" and discuss how God uses his disobedience to teach him valuable lessons about trust and dependence. The hosts highlight Isaac's blessing upon Jacob before his departure, emphasizing God's unilateral promises despite Jacob's flaws. A central part of the discussion revolves around Jacob's Ladder, interpreting it as God's active involvement in human affairs and a foreshadowing of Jesus as the bridge between heaven and earth. The episode also touches on Esau's continued attempts to gain his father's approval and the broader biblical pattern of God's unwavering faithfulness even amidst human messiness.
