Why covenant family dynamics are relevant for us: because they bind us together and explain our differences.
Exegesis: Three facets of covenant family dynamics: God is gracious with His own (vv. 19-21); God distinguishes His own, surprising us through law-reversal (vv. 22-23) and character-reversal (vv. 24-26); God is patient with His own (vv. 27-28).
Further application: Uses of this text: physical birth ≠the birth; outward might ≠inward strength; all salvation is by grace.
Key verse: v. 23 ''And the LORD said to her: 'Two nations are in your womb, two peoples shall be separated from your body; one people shall be stronger than the other, and the older shall serve the younger.' ''
