Today we are finishing our first season emphasizing the importance of our identity. As followers of Jesus we have a shared identity. When Jacob crossed the Jabbok River, he was no longer to see himself as Jacob, but by the name God gave him, Israel.
From that point on his journey was away from Jacob and into the Land God promised his father and grandfather, the Land of Israel. His journey will reflect upon all followers of Jesus.
However we are left wondering. Does that mean that Jacob no longer exists? Why then does his name appear throughout the Bible?
Remember, this is a journey, not a college course. As we travel away from our former identity, we embrace our new one. We don’t have all the answers. Jesus does. It is the path of righteousness, though difficult at times.
But, as we walk we are changed into His image. As our understanding increases so does our ability to be a blessing to others.
See you next Season!
