Gen 25:31-34 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.A Cock was busily scratching and scraping about to find something to eat for himself and his family, when he happened to turn up a precious jewel that had been lost by its owner. "Aha!" said the Cock. "No doubt you are very costly and he who lost you would give a great deal to find you. But as for me, I would choose a single grain of barleycorn before all the jewels in the world." Precious things are without value to those who cannot prize them.
The birthright or precious jewel that is in our lives is Christ Jesus who paid a heavy price to save us on the cross. So my dearest children never be foolish like Esau who gave up his birthright or like the Cock in the story who gave up the precious jewel. Because neither one of them knew the value of what they had. Christ Jesus who is our Precious Jewel. Make sure that you never trade or give up Christ Jesus for anything.
Sing with me the song I HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS, NO TURNING BACK, NO TURNING BACK.
