As we continue our study of Christophanies, we turn to Genesis 32—the story of Jacob and Esau. Here, God reveals Himself as the one who delivers, especially from fear. He often does this by disrupting our solitude, breaking our self-reliance, and drawing us into dependence on Him as He delivers us from sin. In Jacob’s struggle, we see that true deliverance begins when God lovingly breaks us in order to remake us.
