j g bellettThe Moral Glories of Our Lord -  A devotion regarding the Moral Glory in the character of the Lord Jesus.  All of his life went up to God as a sacrifice of sweet savour. Every expression of Himself in every measure, however small, and in whatever relationship it was rendered, was incense to his father.  Whatever Adam lacked, the Lord fulfilled completely in his perfect life.  J G Bellett was a brother from the United Kingdeom who wrote his works in the 1800's. 
Sunday School Lesson 119 Jacob Esau and the Birthright Print E-mail

Lesson: 119 Lesson Name: The Twins and The Birthright
Theme: Sin's Foolishness and Carelessness / Mocker's Consequences

Reading: Genesis 25:20-34

Memory Verse: Hebrews 12:16
Memory Verse Text: Esau . . .  sold his birthright.

Point 1: Jacob and Esau's choices reflected their personalities.  Jacob was a quiet thinker, clever, and had clear goals.  Esau was macho and cunning, but he did not think ahead.  Esau was probably more likeable!
Point 2: Mention the sorrows of favoritism as seen in Gen. 25:28.  Possession of the birthright meant being heir to the promises God had made to Abraham.
Point 3: Esau, the "more likeable" son, was outsmarted from the benefit of his birthright.  Application: It is not always the "more likeable" that will be saved.
Point 4: Esau despised his birthright, and in the desire of the moment, he sold it for an appealing meal of soup and bread.  The food had no future value whereas his birthright had great future value.
