Q3. Why should the words, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins" (Matthew 26:28) fill us with sorrow? Why should they fill us with joy?
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.

Q1. How do you know that John the Baptist's statement about the Lamb of God refers to sacrifice? (John 1:29). How was the comprehensiveness of "sins of the world" so radical a concept?
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.
The whole world is being sinful due to Adam and Eve start to betray God and all the people of the world not doing the God's way and there if no way of get away of sins only through Jesus Christ who sacrifice on the cross to takeway all our sins so that we can be united again with God.

Q1. (Genesis 29) Why do you think God allows Jacob to be tricked into 14 years of labor for two wives? What purposes do you think God is working out through these circumstances?
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.

Q1. (Genesis 28:3-4) Why does Isaac bless Jacob, especially after Jacob
-
Rebekah has no excuse to deceive her husband Issac. God gave Rebekah a prophecy that the younger will rule over the older but what Rebekah failed to remember is God doesn't need our help to fulfill His promises. He will NEVER cause us to do anything evil to see that His promises come to pass. Jacob demonstrated by manipulating Esau out of his birthright that he understood the importance of receiving such a blessing for their father. We assume that because Jacob spent more time closer to the home and his mother that she had to have told Jacob what God told her. Because Jacob knew God's plans he should have allowed God to do His work in His time therefore he is as responsible as Rebekah is. Rebekah actually shows a lack of faith and trust in God by her actions.
I am fully agreed with your view especially the sentence "He will NEVER cause us to do anything evil to see that His promises come to pass". We should always remember that God will guide us through if we submmit to Him and do the way He like.Never take things our way against His wish.

Q1. Why does the New Testament condemn Esau for selling his birthright? (Hebrews 12:16-17) What did selling the birthright represent? What does this transaction say about Esau's character and values? What does it reveal bout Jacob's character and values?
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.
