Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\u201d Revelation 21:7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Help your children understand the key verse as you help them complete the opening worksheet.\u00a0 Today we will learn the change that took place in Jacob\u2019s life as he learned to trust God, inheriting the promise of Abraham.\u00a0 Make sure they understand the key verse and the importance placing one\u2019s trust in God.\u00a0 God always keeps His promises.<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong>\u00a0 In this lesson we look at the life of Jacob, the 3rd<\/sup> major person in the book of Genesis..\u00a0 He and Esau were twins.\u00a0 Jacob was the younger twin born to Isaac.\u00a0 God knew before Jacob was even born what kind of a man he would become; for he chose to walk with God.\u00a0 Because God had told Rebekah that Jacob would rule over Esau, she encouraged him to trick his father out of the family blessing, preempting God\u2019s plan.\u00a0 This caused contention, hatred, and grief from his brother for many years.\u00a0 Jacob had to flee for his life to another land.\u00a0 On the way, Jacob had a dream of angels ascending and descending a ladder into heaven.\u00a0 God spoke to him and gave him the promise of Abraham.\u00a0 Jacob obeyed his parents and chose a wife from his mother\u2019s family.\u00a0 But, Jacob was then tricked by Laban, his mother\u2019s brother, who gave him the wrong daughter, Leah, in marriage.\u00a0 Jacob had to work 14 years to gain the woman he loved, Rachel, Leah\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n

When God told Jacob to return to his homeland, he obeyed.\u00a0 On the way, he wrestled with an angel of the Lord all night.\u00a0 It was the pre-incarnate Christ.\u00a0 During that struggle, Jacob was renamed Israel (which means prince of God<\/em>).\u00a0\u00a0 God blessed Jacob with 12 sons and 1 daughter.\u00a0 These sons became the 12 tribes of the nation Israel.<\/p>\n

In the past two lessons, we saw where God promised to send One who would deliver a sinful people from their sins.\u00a0 The first was when man sinned in the Garden (Genesis 3:15).\u00a0 Last week, we learned that God had promised Abraham that all people would be blessed through his descendants (Genesis 22:18).\u00a0 We even saw a picture (when Abraham offered Isaac) of what God would do \u2013 lay down the life of His Son, Jesus.\u00a0 In this lesson, we see once again the promise of a mighty Deliverer that would come (Genesis 28:14).\u00a0 Remember God\u2019s promise was fulfilled when He sent His Son, Jesus, to save the world from their sin. Jesus was the greatest gift ever given.<\/p>\n

Ideas for children:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stickers always work well with children. Often times I watch Wal-Mart or Oriental Trading Company for specials or deals on things I can use for crafts for Sunday School (i.e. foam sheets, Bible Story scene stickers, crowns, stick on jewels, construction paper, etc.).\u00a0 I keep a stash and when I need something, I go search in my stash!\u00a0 Pinterest always has great ideas!<\/p>\n

One idea for today\u2019s lesson:<\/strong>\u00a0 (See picture below). Take a piece of black construction paper, some wooden popsicle sticks, peel and stick stars, a sticker of a Bible times man, a sticker of a rock and some angels, some cotton balls and glue.\u00a0 Glue the wooden popsicle sticks to the paper making a ladder.\u00a0 Fluff the cotton balls and glue them around the top to make a sky.\u00a0 Put the rock sticker on the bottom with the Bible time\u2019s man (as if he is using the rock as a pillow). Stick the angels on the ladder (as if ascending and descending on the ladder).\u00a0 Fill the night sky with the stickers of stars.\u00a0 Glue a print out of Genesis 28:15 on it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mural idea:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Refer to the wall in your classroom that has become a mural. \u00a0Encourage them to write a promise God made in His Word, the Bible.\u00a0 Remind them that God always keeps His promises.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Add these to your mural, as a reminder that God always keeps His promises.<\/p>\n

Have them each add anything else they may have brought to add to the wall.\u00a0 Encourage everyone to participate.<\/p>\n
