The Humiliation of Jacob

In Genesis 29.1-30, we find one of the most humiliating moments in the life of Jacob. And yet God sovereignly providentially works through this situation to both humble Jacob and to continue his plan to bring messiah into the world through his unwanted bride, Leah. So that ultimately, Jacob's humiliation points us forward to the humiliation of Christ. We walk through this story in two parts: 1) Jacob meets Rachel and Laban (1-14) and 2) Jacob marries Rachel and Leah (15-30).
