Genesis 25:19-34 The Hero of the Story is a Heel

Jacob is devious and deceptive; he is crafty and conniving. He lies and he manipulates. He becomes a man who has the audacity to wrestle with God. Jacob lacked many fine qualities, but lack of ambition was not one of them. Jacob continually claws his way to the top by hook or crook…not appearing to care about whomever he has to step over to get there. The hero of our story is a heel…in fact, a heel grabber…and that makes him fascinating.
