Genesis 27:30-46
Sin has consequences.
Having deceived his father in order to get the blessing, it should have been no surprise to Jacob that Esau was furious.
But Jacob didn't repent, but at the advice of his mother, he ran away from the situation.
Esau meanwhile became so angry because of Jacob's sin that it led him to his own sin. He hated Jacob and wanted to kill him.
What could have resolved the situation in a better way? Repentance and forgiveness.
Who have you sinned against? Have you repented and sought their forgiveness?
Who has sinned against you? Do you harbor hate towards them or are you willing to forgive as Christ has forgiven you?
