uber profound sermon i heard over lunch.
Tim Keller drew connection between the Jacob/Esau blessings story in Genesis 27 and our relationship w/ Jesus. With jacob and esau there was a role reversal where the younger brother got the blessings the older brother was supposed to get. Jesus is the older brother (colossians 1:15) and WE got the blessing that was due to him. The difference here is that w/ jacob, the younger brother had to dress up as the older brother in order to take his blessing; with Christ, it is the OLDER brother who made himself like the younger (us) in order to take our curse upon himself so that we can be blessed.
this was so deep i sat in stupor for about 5 whole minutes thinking about it.
