As the firstborn Son, Esau stood to inherit a substantial birthright that included not only wealth and possessions, but also the covenant promise God had made to Abraham. In a moment of shortsightedness, Esau sold his birthright to his brother Jacob for a bowl of soup, forfeiting his blessing. From that point on, Jacob and Esau's lives were on very different trajectories. Their story teaches us an important lesson: that our choices matter and, though our eternal salvation is secure, our decisions can have irreversible consequences for us in this life.
