Jacob’s life isn’t like Jesus at all. His life is riddled with lies, trouble, manipulation, theft, threat of murder, plotting, selfishness, self-preservation, self-gain, bribery, rape, revenge, murder, running for his life, etc. Yet, God has chosen to bless Jacob just like he's chosen to bless us in Christ.
