Genesis 28 ‘Staircase to Heaven’
“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." V15
Jacob cheated Esau out of his birthright and deceived Jacob his father and yet God makes this amazing promise to him. He promises to be with Jacob and to ‘watch over him’.
This promise extends to you, despite your shortcomings. Accept God’s love for you. Although He says he will never leave you he does not promise a life without difficulty. It’s a staircase not an escalator!
God’s promises are eternal; evident in both the Old and New Testament. The ultimate promise was fulfilled when Christ died on the cross for our sins.
Memory verse
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5 v8
