As we continue looking into the lives of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we found ourselves yesterday in Genesis 25. Messed up families are not new. Rather then arriving as a grown man, Jesus was born into a family line that included twins who despised each other, parents who played favorites and schemes to hurt and take advantage of family members. The promised Saviour, Jesus, was born into the dysfunction of that family heritage to identify with us in all of our messed up families AND to defeat sin and family dysfunction once and for all. The Gospel is the cure for family dysfunction and the healing for those wounded by family pain.
