The Stolen Blessing
Genesis 27:14-24
And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.…


I. THE TEMPTATION ORIGINATED IN A SENSUOUS REQUEST OF ISAAC.

II. THIS TEMPTATION WAS PRESENTED TO JACOB THROUGH THE UNSCRUPULOUS LOVE OF REBEKAH. We cannot but admire her love. But it was not based upon principle.

III. THIS TEMPTATION WAS GREEDILY RESPONDED TO BY THE WEAK AND CRAFTY NATURE OF JACOB.
