Day 14: Jacob marries Leah and Rachel, Jesus warns those who reject him

The One Year Bible Podcast 2024 - A podcast by Michael Wood, M.Ed.,M.S.

In Genesis 29-30, Jacob arrives in Paddan Aram and falls in love with Rachel. He works seven years to marry her, but is tricked by Laban into marrying Leah first, leading to another seven years of labor for Rachel. The sisters, along with their maids, compete for Jacob's attention, resulting in the birth of many sons, the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel. Will Jacob's longing for Rachel endure the deception and challenges, shaping the future of a nation? In Matthew 11:16-30, Jesus speaks of the generation that rejects both John the Baptist and himself, comparing them to children who are never satisfied. He then denounces cities where he performed miracles but they did not repent. Yet, he offers rest and relief to those who are weary and burdened, inviting them to take his yoke upon them and learn from him, for he is gentle and humble in heart. Will those burdened by life's struggles find solace in Jesus' promise of rest and learn from his humble heart?
