Explore the Bible Commentary: Genesis 25–50 (Winter 2018-19)

This study of Genesis 25–50 explores the roots of the gospel. Earlier in Genesis, God made a covenant with Abraham. Now, the story of Abraham’s descendants unfolds. Isaac, Jacob, and their children become the focal points. Sin and brokenness are present in abundance, making the necessity for transformation clear. In the midst of all this brokenness, God used imperfect people to advance His perfect plans. God transformed Jacob so completely that he received a new name. Following Jacob’s story provides an opportunity to consider your own life story. How have you experienced God’s transformation? Christ came into the world to make transformation and redemption available to all who repent and believe. As you study Genesis 25–50, may God teach you why the gospel is such good news!
