The mark of a Christian
Friday, January 2, 2026
“He sold his birthright unto Jacob. And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.” That’s the important thing to see at this juncture. This man just sits down, eats a bowl of soup. And for that bowl of soup, he surrendered his birthright. It had no spiritual value to him whatsoever because nothing that was spiritual meant anything to him. Unfortunately, I’m afraid we have church members that are like that; who have no spiritual capacity whatsoever. And that I think is the mark of a Christian today is that one that the Spirit of God can teach and lead and guide.
