林後 2 Cor 4:6
林後 2 Cor 3:18
創 Gen 32:24-32 The experience of Jacob at Peniel
希Heb 11:21 The conclusion of Jacob

I. The problem: Who is the boss in your life? Me or Him? If He has all the Lordship, he is responsible for us and give us enough provision to go through. If I am the master of myself, I am responsible for my life.
II. The truth that we need to face: We can't take anything to eternity unless it has the essence of eternity. And the spiritual character of Christ is the only thing we can take to the eternity.
III. The story of Jacob, which is the story of us:
1. Jacob: a twister, a cheater, a liar, a self-center, a bargainer, a person can't control his wicket natural.
2. God original plan is to give him all blessings, including the sonship, but he want to get them himself. He is the center of all problems. So, God arranged all circumstance to conform him.
3. One day God will bring each one of us to the Peniel crossing to deal with our own problem.
4. Jacob won the wrestle, because the Angel of God (Jesus who has not incarnate) made Himself weak so He can gain Jacob. Likewise, our Lord Jesus humble Himself so we can make Him die on the cross, so He can gain us to conform us to His own Image.
5. Jacob was his own master, but he now leaned on a staff.
6. He became a worshiper, the channel of blessing.
7. Jacob got changed, because he want the blessings, he wants something that is eternal, and he wants something from God.
