The birth of Isaac was a miracle. But for Abraham to have as many descendants as the stars in the sky, Isaac will need to marry and also have children. Isaac marries Rebekah and she gives birth to two very different boys – Jacob and Esau. Esau is the older and should be the heir. But it is not to be. Jacob is God’s pick. Why should we like Jacob? Would we pick Jacob?
Do you see why I always say the Bible (and especially Genesis) is just like a good movie or television mini-series?
Sarah and Abraham die. The saga moves to the next generation. The story of God and God’s people is unfolding. Has the promise died with Sarah and Abraham?
