Title: Reconciliation with Brothers
Title: Reconciliation with Brothers (Genesis 32:22-31)
Now, the world is in a situation where World War 3, the danger of a powder stockpile caused by nuclear weapons, could happen in the 100-year-old world of World War I.
Currently at war between Israel and Palestine, 65 Israelis and 1,100 Palestinians have died, and the Ukraine crisis began when Ukrainian President Victoria Yanukovich (pro-Russian) suspended a trade agreement with the European Union, which he was pushing for. war now
Territorial dispute between China and Japan on the Senkaku Islands, South Korea and North Korea
If God puts his heart into it, he moves the heart of Kim Jong-un and each leader and is on the verge of commissioning World War III.
In particular, the battle between Israel and Palestine is the battle between Isaac and Ishmael.
The content of the text is also the battle between the twin brothers Jacob and Esau. We hope that grace abounds through the words of this text.
1) Enemy brothers Jacob and Esau
Twin brothers Jacob and Esau were tattooed on each other from the womb of their mother.
Genesis 25:22 “And his sons fought each other in his womb, and he said, What shall I do in this case?
23 And the LORD said to her, "Two peoples are in your womb, and two peoples will be separated from your womb. One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger."
25The first one came out, red, and his whole body was like a fur coat, so he called his name Esau. 26The younger brother who came out later called his name Jacob because he took Esau's heel with his hand. When Rebekah gave birth to them, Isaac was sixty years old.
Esau and Jacob quarreled from the womb, and they were already divided into two peoples.
Once, Esau sells his birthright to Jacob, a quiet man, for a bowl of porridge. Genesis 25:31 Jacob said, "Sell me your brother's birthright today." 32 And Esau said, "I am about to die, and what will this birthright be for me?" 33 And Jacob said, "Swear to me today. 34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil soup, and Esau ate and drank, and got up and went away, for Esau despised his birthright.
You should not take your work lightly. Please do not take the service, prayer order, worship service lightly, and do the work faithfully. What we need from those in charge is loyalty (1 Corinthians 4:2).
Also, the blessing is taken away, and Jacob becomes an enemy of Esau's brother. Genesis 27:4 Make a delicacy that I enjoy and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you as much as I want before I die. 5 Rebekah heard her while Isaac was talking to his son Esau, and Esau went out into the field to hunt. When I finish blessing
In the end, Jacob takes Esau's birthright and blessing, so he escapes Esau's day and runs to Laban's uncle's house. As Adam and Eve were tempted by the serpent and sinned, they were expelled from the Garden of Eden.
Because of sin, mankind became enemies with God, brothers, neighbors, and enemies.
2. God's command to return home
Genesis 31:3 And the LORD said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers, to your people, and I will be with you."
Jacob set the wages, Genesis 30:32 Today I will go through my uncle's flock, and will separate out the spotted and the spotted and the black of the sheep, and the spotted and the spotted among the goats, and these will be my wages. .
Jacob sets his wages according to Barobom's law.
30:37 And Jacob took the green branches of the willows, the apricots, and the sycamore trees, and peeled them off the bark to reveal the white radish 38, and set the peeled branches in the troughs of the streams where the flocks came and ate, and directed them toward the flocks. When the herd came to drink, they bore their young.
We also believe that we should become the recipients of God's blessing through the law of looking. When you hear a sermon, you have to look at the preacher. Matthew 13:16 But blessed are your eyes to see and your ears to hear.
Genesis 13:14 After Lot left Abram, the LORD said to Abram, "Lift up your eyes and look north and south and east and west from where you are. 15 The land you see I will give to you and to your descendants forever.

Genesis 31:1 Jacob heard what Laban's sons were saying, saying, "Jacob has taken all that our father had, and he has gathered all this wealth through our father's possessions." 2 When Jacob saw Laban's countenance, he looked toward him as before. no
In the end, Jacob returned to his hometown according to God's command.
32:3 But Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau, who was in the land of Seir, in the field of Edom, 6 and the messengers returned to Jacob and said, "We have come to your brother Esau, and he is coming with four hundred men to meet you. 7 Jacob was very afraid and frustrated, so he divided his companions with him and the sheep, cattle, and camels into two herds.
If the sins committed by humans are not resolved, they will continue to follow them.
Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death.
3 wrestling with angels
24 Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with Jacob all day long. 25 When he saw that he could not overcome Jacob, he struck Jacob's thigh, and Jacob's thigh was dislocated as he wrestled with him. 31 And Peniel The sun rose as he passed through the sun, and he was limp on his thigh.
Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
That's right. It's not me anymore. No matter how hard I try, it's useless and a failure. Now we must lay it down before the Lord. You have to let everything go. The ministry must also be entrusted to the Lord.. It is not okay to preach and say that I die. just praying
Zechariah 4:6 And he answered me and said, These are the words of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saith the LORD of hosts, Not by strength, not by might, but by my spirit.
Luke 5:2 And when they saw two boats on the shore of the lake, the fishermen got out of the boat and washed their nets. 4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Go into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." They toiled all the time, but they caught nothing, but at your word, I will let down the nets.” 6 When they did so, they caught too many fish, and the nets were torn. 8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees and said, “Lord, leave me. I am a sinner. I cannot do anything by my strength. Only the Lord does. Lord! I leave it to you...
26 And he said, "Let me go as the day is dawning." Jacob said, "I will not let you go unless you bless me."
27 The man said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.” 28 He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel. has been)

Isaiah 41:14 You fool Jacob! When we become like garbage, God takes care of us.
Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked turn away from his thoughts and turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him. Return to our God, and he will forgive.
Jacob meets his brother while limping.
Genesis 33:3 And he went before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, and drew near to his brother Esau. 4 And Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, kissed him, kissed him, and wept.
When we receive forgiveness through the blood of Jesus Christ, we are finally reconciled with our brothers. Not for me. It is not made by power. You just have to bow down before the Lord and be humble. Only the Lord should stand. All problems are solved because the Lord solves them.
