Genesis 32-33
How wise of Jacob to approach his brother in a nice manner. He wanted to find favor in his brothers eyes.
Also, in Jacob's moment of fear, he responded correctly and prayed to the Lord! (vs 7 and 9) He reminded himself of the promises God had made to him.
After so many years apart, Jacob is greeted affectionately by his brother Esau, hugs, kisses and weeping.
Matthew 16-
This chapter teaches us that we're not to ask for signs from God! A wicked and adulterous generation looks for miraculous signs.
We need to be cautious what teachings we take in, comparing them to the word of God.
Even with all the miracles Jesus performed, people still didn't know He was the Christ! His disciples knew :)
Jesus knew what was going to happen to him in Jerusalem. He told his disciples in verse 21 that he'd be killed and on the third day raised to life.
If we want to follow Christ, we need to deny ourselves, submitting our lives to Christ's service.
Vs 26 is my favorite verse in the chapter "What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?"
