Theme: INTEGRITY
Text: “Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.” – Hebrews 12:16, 17.
Comment: Esau, one of the twin sons of Isaac, is a practical example of a man who has no integrity. He gave himself to carnal things, and for a mess of portage when he suffered from hunger, he sold his birthright to Jacob, his younger brother. (Genesis 25:29-34) If he were a godly man who had integrity, he would rather have preferred to die of hunger than, for a single meal, to part with his birthright. The birthright confers on one high spiritual responsibility which Esau treated with levity due to lack of integrity. Christians are therefore warned against the conduct of Esau. Like Esau, many people today conduct themselves in an improper manner in social gatherings. They look at dishes or bottles of beer with greedy eyes as they eat and drink without any sense of moderation or dignity while they manifest all traits of a glutton or a carouse person. – Philippians 4:5.
