What a mess. One husband, four wives, 12 children, plenty of jealousy and hatred to go around. Jacob spent most of his life trying to do things his own way and he is reaping the consequences. Can it get any worse? Yes it can, and yes it will. What can God do with a dysfunctional family like this? The chapter reaches its climax with the birth of Rachel’s son – after years of barrenness. Barenness becomes a theme of how God works with his people – taking lifelessness and bringing forth life. Here we find that the people of God have no noble origins in themselves, but God takes the dissonance of a desperate people and from it forms a legitimate harmonious heavenly family - through the promised offspring, Jesus Christ.
