Reconciling with a Rogue (Jacob meets Esau)

This chapter records the encounter between Jacob and Esau after the build up of the previous chapter. The lead up to Jacob's encounter with Esau had been used mightily in the purposes of God to deepen the work of sanctification in Jacob's life. Now the time had come to face Esau in the flesh and see God work to bring about peace between the two estranged brothers.
