Nowadays the wealth and greed that that led people away from worship God.

People usually complain about the unfair treatment from others,lack of trust to authority and fear of unknown situation. When I feel angry with the situation where I was in or other people's behavior that hurt me. I should control my temper and not let it out of control, and I should pray to God.

Moses was called upon by God Himself and now he was blamed by the people for making troubles. Yes, he was having fear,unbelief and even confused of why he do this thing without appreciation.

The lamb itself represents Jesus Christ who die for us on the cross. Standing after being slain indicates the resurrection of Christ who is victorious over death. Horns represent the power of Christ. Eyes represent the Christ see all, know all and nothing can hide from Him. The number seven carries the idea of perfectness of the Christ To summarize, then, the Lamb has the qualities of being of likeness of God who is almighty.

We feel sorrow as Jesus die for us on the cross and shed His blood to redeem us from sin. We filled with joy as our sin have been forgiven and we have become children of God as we can go directly to God and close to Him.

The blood of the lambs was used to paint on the door post and the top of the door of all the Israelites household to prevent them from angle of death to enter the house to kill the 1st born. LIkewise, all of us today will be spared the eternal death if we have the Jesus's blood to protect us if we believe in Him as the son of God.

Because lambs were commonly used by the Jews for sacrifices to obtain forgiveness for sin.therefore Lamb of God refer to the sacrifices sent by God for the atonment of our sin.

Apparently God want Jacob to taste what is like of being tricked by other person and also serve as a punishment to him of being a deceiver to his brother and his father. At the sametime mould him to become a good servent of God and to fulfil God's promises to his forefathers.

Selling birthright is like throwing away the future in life only to satisfy the current need. Esau was shortsighted in his life and never look forward to his future. We are also same as Esau, always think about near future that we can look for in this world and never look beyond to next life in haven. Jacob was also an impatient person which take life in his own hand and do not want to wait in front of God. He should know that God had prepared the future for him and what he has to do is to follow His path so that he would avoid sufferring in his life.
