The Father Blesses the Firstborn

Genesis 27: 1-29

The purpose of God according to election is that his Son, Christ Jesus, be the Firstborn among many brethren (Romans 8: 28-34). As we look at how Jacob was given the blessing belonging to the firstborn, even in the midst of sin and deceit, we see a picture of how a sinner must come to God the Father only in the name and merits of Christ Jesus the Firstborn (Jn 14: 6).

The gospel comes at first like Rebekah's word came to Jacob (vv9-14). God the Father will know I am a deceiver because all I am is sin. I am nothing like Christ the Firstborn: Christ is righteous, I am a sinner; Christ is holy, I am altogether unclean. But Christ, the Surety for each child given him of the Father from before the foundation of the world, hath redeemed each one from the curse of the law being made a curse for us (Gal 3: 13). His word is "obey my voice." When the Spirit of Christ speaks through his bride (his witness) into the heart he has made new, like as Jacob obeyed Rebekah, so the sinner obeys.

Rebekah prepared everything and gave to Jacob (vv15-17). So everything required of a sinner is prepared by another (1 Cor 4: 7; Eph 2: 8). Coming to God the Father through faith in Christ is to come robed in the garments of the Son of God's love, with nothing in our hand but that in which the Father delights (Isaiah 61:10).

Jacob came in the name of another (vv18-27). So the believer comes to God the Father, not in our name, but in the name of Christ (vv18-27; Acts 4: 12; John 16: 23). Faith rests in Christ who accomplished for us what the Father bid us do, glories in the LORD who brought salvation unto us and thus is found smelling of the savor the Father loves (Phil 3: 9; Rom 8: 3; Ps 45: 6-8; Eph 5: 2).

Jacob was blessed of his father with the blessing of the firstborn son (vv28-29). So the believer is blessed of God, made joint-heirs in Christ the Firstborn (vv28-29; Rom 8: 14-18).
