Quest for Identity: Jacob Week 5

This year during FamilyQuest we are on a quest for our identity. We will accomplish this by studying various characters in the Bible, discovering the characteristic(s) that identified them, and then using those as a model for a personal understanding of our own identity which we have when we are born again and are in Christ Jesus.

(Note to Parents: We need you to clearly convey that this identity is ONLY for those who have experienced salvation through Christ Jesus and are new creatures. Although it is AVAILABLE to everyone, it is not an identity that AUTOMATICALLY BELONGS to everyone.)

During this unit, we are learning that Jacob was "Chosen".  We, too, have been chosen but we must activate our identity by reciprocating and choosing Christ!

The story of Jacob and his 12 sons can be quite confusing.  Below you will find a link to some printable activities that might help you reteach and remember the family tree!  Remember to use this as an opportunity to discuss how God used Jacob to continue the covenant promise He made with Abraham!
