But God did not forsake Jacob. His mercy was still extended to His erring, distrustful servant. The Lord compassionately revealed just what Jacob needed--a Saviour. He had sinned, but his heart was filled with gratitude as he saw revealed a way by which he could be restored to the favor of God.

Men Gud svigtede ikke Jakob. Han var stadig sin fejlende, mistroiske tjener nådig. Herren åbenbarede i sin medlidenhed netop, hvad Jakob havde brug for - en frelser. Han havde syndet, men hans hjerte blev fyldt med taknemmelighed, da han så, at han atter kunne få del i Guds nåde.
