1. And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
2. And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 9 JUNE 2021 MESSAGE
Esau is an interesting character in the Bible.
When people talk about him, what is said is how he foolishly sold his birthright to Jacob his brother for a plate of pottage.
That singular act caused him his fathers blessings.
So, instead of being served by his younger brother, he served his younger brother (Genesis 27:29).
When Jacob impersonated him and stole his blessings from their father, Isaac, Esau became very angry and vowed to kill his brother after the funeral of lsaac (Genesis 27:41).
One would think he would carry out his threat, but, after a long while as read in our Bible text for today, he ran to meet his brother and kissed him.
This made it clear that Esau forgave his brother even before meeting him.
What bad has been done to you? Can it be as bad as what Jacob did to his brother?
Even if it is, no sin should be too big for you to forgive.
Jesus Christ said in Matthew 18:22 that we should forgive seventy multiplied by seven times.
People say I forgive easily; well, I want to make heaven. If you want to make heaven too, you must forgive those who hurt you.
