Who knew the story of Jacob and Esau was so similar to the parable of the lost son that Jesus would tell thousands of years later? We are Jacob and we often approach God like he approached Esau all those years after he ran for his life. All God wants is to wrap us in His arms, kiss us, walk arm and arm back home in a renewed relationship. It's no scheme that we come up with that convinces Him to welcome us back...God's already decided He wants us home.
