Jacob away, was a mixed one. ghe realised that Fteau’s apger t o s hot against Jacob, even to the point where he was likely to kill him. She farther, knew that justice -would has$ to be meted out to him, and thus she would be bereft of them both. Then, too, she realised .that. If Jacob remained in that land he would likely marry a heathen woman and thus defeat God’s purpose regarding, the covenant nation., This latter she pressed upon Isaac as a motive for sending him"away. U. Jacob’s Flight (V. 10). . He was fleeing from his outraged brother. Bis fljfeht was necessary to, save'his life. He seems not to have gone the common road, so as to he less likely overtaken by Esau, should he 1■pursue him, Through, forced match he reaches Bethel, a spot .nearly fifty miles away, by nightfall. • - II. Jacob's Vision (vv, 11-17). Jacob’s sonl was peculiarly tested. He had’to leave home end-mother. On the Wayto Haran night overtakekhim, and ha Is obliged to sleep' in a field With a atone' for his billow and the canopy of heaven for ,a covering., It was under such circumstances that the Lord gave him the wonderful vision at Bethel. Many times ‘the rough experl- ■ ences and severe trials of life help us on toward God. Luxury and heavenly visions do hot usually go together. This finds'illustration In John on Pat­ inos; Stephen looking into heaven . while being atoned, and John,Banyan in Bedford jail. 'L. Ho saw a ladder reaching from earth to heaven (vvl2)< . This suggests u means of communi­ cation between earth and heaven, be­ tween man and God. It showed Jacob that fir spite of tats awful sin-tbere wjmA way to heaven for,- him. Jesus Ghrhf^ is the ladder connecting earth and "heaven for ns (John I ;5 i; 14:0; Hebrews 10 : 10 , 20). in the incarna­ tion Jesus Christ-descended to earth’s lowest depth and made a way upon which human feet might' climb t9 heaven, Fortunate ate they who in the time* of earth's trials discern this ladder1 2t He saw angels Of God upon the ladder (V. 12), . ’ * They were ascending and descending Upon ,this ladder. These angels were the divine helpers tqrender heeded as­ sistance along life’s way.. Though un­ seen, God’s angels guide and protect us On our eprthly pilgrimage. They gacend unto the Fa'her with Our needs, "and descend unto us with God’s reply. Christ .Is a real man, and so*can iden­ tify himself with us; he is the vtery God, really divine, and so is able to lift us to_God and secufe our reconcilia­ tion with him. • 3. He saw the Lord standing above the ladder, (vv. 13-17). To show Jacob that the ladder did. not merely reach Into space, the per­ sonal God appeared and talked with him. His message Is filled with Infi­ nite grace. (1) He declared the God of Abraham and Isaac (v. 13), thus assuring Jacob that the Same hand that, guided his fathers was over him, (2) He renewed the covenant as to the land (v, 13). Though,Jacob was now fleeing from the land, yet the covenant would not fall, for Jacob and hi* seed Should possess It, (8) As­ sured him of a, numerous seed (v. 14), They would spread abroad to the north, and south, and east, and west, (4) The divine presence with the wan­ dering Jacob (v, IB). Though he bad sinned and was reaping what he had •own, yet God wat with him. III. Jacob’* Vow tw , 18-22). God’* gracious visitation provoked Jacob to make a vow. Each Sight of God Should cause ns to renew our ob» ligation to him. His vow Included three things: (1) Dedication of himself to God <y. 12). This is the first thing to do. Our gifts are an abomination while the life is withheld from God. (2) Wor­ ship established (vv. 18, 10), ’’This stone shan be God’s house.” Worship always follows dedication of one’s self to GOd. There Is personal communion between God and those who worship lift* (8) Consecration of h|s Sub- *!**«•, of Ida poseessiofis (v, 22), Thaw# Who have fellowship with Ged mo fubw God's claim upon their poe- eaweis*,, God's grace should constrain «* t r give of me aubstanpe to him, r otation. or■««* way of handling ' k instead of * vague, less than half-hem- the life « t # nr * .. . 1 on, passes Into the i i GferWtiau, t o i t insensible J H, F« Bld- .m . - ■ . i ««# * an "*tftjil Hffi* ‘%£m 1 JACOB FLEEING FROM H1S.ANGRY BROTHER.
