The Story of Jacob

“Rather than whitewashing the flaws of their characters, biblical authors paint them in glowing colors. In fact, some of the narratives are so embarrassingly honest that I cringe to think that these poor souls have had their dirty underwear swinging in the breeze of Scripture for millennia. Or perhaps they do know. And are glad. Glad in this way: they are thankful that we can read their stories and, say, ‘What? You too? I thought I was the only one.’ And they can smile from the page of Scripture and say, ‘Oh, no, friend. You are far from alone.’ Indeed, our flawed and frail friends of the Bible give us a profound hope. That hope is not built upon them, but upon the fact that the perfect God chose to use such profoundly imperfect people in his kingdom.” – Chad Bird
