1. We are the church of the firstborn. Therefore, let us not throw away the birthright. We must give importance to what God values. The birthright has great value to God (Hebrews 12: 22-23a).
2. What was Judah’s change of attitude? He took responsibility for preserving the descendants of God’s people, the people of Israel. If it were not for his insistence on returning to Egypt to obtain food, Jacob and his descendants might not have survived (Genesis 43:8-9).
3. God needs many “Judases” today—people who will take the risk and responsibility to ensure that God’s will is done on Earth, so that the Lord may rule in the coming kingdom (Genesis 43:1-10).
4. “In the Gospel of John, we understand the Father’s love for the Son and for us: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (3:16). And again: “In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.” (1 John 4:9) (Daily Food, book 8, week 4, Wednesday, p. 64).
