I’m sure in your lifetime you have some wonderful experiences of anticipating an event that you’re so excited you can hardly sleep at night. Time simply isn’t moving fast enough. Perhaps you counted the days or maybe even the hours until finally, that long awaited moment would arrive. Today, would you join me and old Jacob as he is exactly in that situation of great anticipation. We’ve been looking closely at the life of Joseph in the Bible, seeking to learn some important life lessons. You may recall he was actually sold into slavery by his older brothers when he was 17 years old. Those brothers then told their father Jacob that his favorite son Joseph must have been killed by a ferocious animal as they presented Joseph’s blood soaked, multi-colored coat to their father. Oh how he grieved for a very long time. In fact, I wonder if you’d understand if I said a part of Jacob’s heart died the day he heard that dreadful news about his son? I wonder if he kept that blood stained coat in a corner of his tent, just as a reminder year after year?
