Tonight, we heard the story of Jacob and Esau, the sons of Abraham. We learned that Jacob did not treat his brother with fairness, and as a result he created a split between then that took many years and God's help to heal. In the same way, Man created a split between himself and God that took Jesus' death and resurrection to heal. We need to be aware of how our conduct causes us to become separated from God and each other. Like the Energy stick I brought into class, it is only when we offer who we really are that we can make a connection.
