The Parent Trap Part 2 (2 of 6)
Series: My Crazy Family
Scott Maze
Genesis 27
It seems that broken families and dysfunctional families are everywhere. Great things can come from broken families.
Jacob's life works like a Russian nesting doll, for his life has conflict inside conflict inside yet another, conflict. What begins as a conflict with his twin brother Esau, moves to his quarrel with his eventual father-in-law Laban, to continual run-ins with his two wives (yes, he was a polygamist). Jacob's family life is almost continual strife. As great as Jacob was, he will transform before our eyes in the weeks to come. From a scheming manipulator to a humbled man, Jacob transforms by the grace of God.
There are seven different conversations in Genesis 27 as the story of deception develops. We break into today's story around the 3rd conversation between Jacob and his father, Isaac.

He answered, ''Because the Lord your God granted me success.'' Then Isaac said to Jacob, ''Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not.'' So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, who felt him and said, ''The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.'' And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands. So he blessed him. He said, ''Are you really my son Esau?'' He answered, ''I am.'' Then he said, ''Bring it near to me, that I may eat of my son's game and bless you.'' So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank. Then his father Isaac said to him, ''Come near and kiss me, my son.'' So h ...
