In this episode, we explore the divine decision in Genesis 25 that defies human expectation—God’s choice of Jacob over Esau. Though Esau was the firstborn and culturally entitled to the birthright and blessing, Scripture tells us, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated” (Malachi 1:2–3; Romans 9:13).
We examine the theological, historical, and covenantal reasons behind this choice, looking at God’s sovereignty, the unfolding of His redemptive plan, and the role human character plays in divine selection. Was this decision based on foreknowledge, purpose, or grace alone? And how should we understand this choice in light of justice and mercy?
Join us as we unpack the mystery behind God’s selection, the prophetic tension between brothers, and the broader implications this has for how we view God’s will and our place in His story.
