Last week , we left Jacob at a turning point in his life. He had disguised himself as his brother Esau, received his father’s blessing, and was then forced to leave his home. But it was precisely during his flight that something happened which would shape the rest of his story. God met Jacob not as the person he had pretended to be, but as the person he truly was.
