Neither Jacob nor Esau were “good guys”. But before they were out of the womb, God choose Jacob. If anyone had a right to be angry in this story it would be Esau. Even though Esau could have been angry with Jacob, while Jacob was away, Esau ran to embrace and kiss his brother. Someone who had a right to be angry, laid it all down and was not angry with his brother. On the other hand, when Esau offered a relationship with Jacob, Jacob really did not want to be with Esau however he did not want to die at Esau’s hand. Jacob never made it to Seir where Esau lived, he lied once again to his brother. Hell will be full of people who did not want to go there, but who did not want to spend time with God either. God chose Jacob to display is mercy, grace, and glory. God chooses us for the same reason. Heaven is a place where we will see His love and nobody will be in Heaven wishing they were somewhere else.
