Genesis 28:1–22 "God's Presence on the Journey"

The Christian life is a journey. The way of the Lord is set before. Real spiritual enemies are on every side. And you are called to come and know Christ, and to mature in Him. Jacob gives us a glimpse of this journey. When he comes back in later chapters, he’s a new man. Still stumbling, but transformed by the presence of God. By the Holy Spirit, Jesus gives us the presence of God. And with that presence, we are to mature in our Christian journey­—still stumbling, but transformed.
