Jacob
Jul 10, 2016 • Pastor Dan Spencer • PM Service
Jacob is a dominant personality in the Bible being mentioned by names 362 times. He life is detailed in ½ of the book of Genesis.
If you want to get an idea of just how important Jacob is to the Jewish people, just consider the fact that over and over again, all through the Old Testament, their nation was called “Jacob”. Then they became known by his covenant name, “Israel.” The people of the modern-day nation of Israel are still called by that name.
An important man, for sure; an imperfect man for sure; we can learn from his faith.
Read Hebrews 11:21.
