Jacob and Esau

In the next couple of weeks, I'm going to be posting a series of blog entries on the story of Jacob and Esau. It was inspired by a message that I heard by Rob Bell called "What is it to you?" He used Jacob as one of his examples in his message and it got me thinking about the whole story of the two brothers. This particular story has always been one of my favorites, and I'd like to lay down some key elements that I feel hold a great message for all of us.
