Ministry of the Word: The Lord's marvelous design is advanced through Leah

1. Jacob's desire

  • Jacob ran away from his family to avoid conflict with his brother Esau.
  • Jacob met and was in love with Rachel.
  • Jacob makes an offer to Laban to marry Rachel.

2. Laban's treachery

  • Just as Jacob tricked his brother and his father, so too does Laban trick Jacob.

3. The Lord's design

  • God is mindful of the promises he made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
