A.W. Tozer explores the life of Jacob, emphasizing his flawed character and troubled upbringing, yet highlighting his profound encounter with God. Despite Jacob's deceitful nature and the dysfunction in his family, he possessed a deep longing for God, which ultimately led to his transformation. Tozer illustrates that God pursues those who are spiritually discontented, as seen in Jacob's awakening to God's presence during a lonely night. This sermon serves as a reminder that even the most unlikely individuals can experience God's grace and become vessels for His purpose. Tozer encourages listeners to embrace their spiritual longing as a precious treasure that draws them closer to God.
