In the Bible we find many references to transactions and covenants. In our passage we find one of those references and it is found in the usage of the word surety. Now we know that Christ was made a surety of a better testament, but what exactly does that mean?

As Christians, there are some things that God used in the generations before us and it's high time we dig afresh some of those wells.
Jacob’s time is short. It will not be long before he departs this world. Before he passes, he calls for his sons to gather together that he might tell them the things that will befall them in the last days. Some of the sons receive good news, while others hear of loss and condemnation.<br />

As a person, Isaac was the type of man that hated to deal with conflict. This chapter shows him dealing a lot with what he liked the least—conflict. He has to be warned against going down into Egypt in order to avoid the troubles of famine. He then tells the same lie his father did in order to protect himself—except with Isaac, it was a complete lie. He makes a fortune, but has to deal with the envy of those who are jealous of him. Finally, he digs the wells of Abraham and has to battle over them. But…he prospers in the end. Watch this story and see how Isaac learns to deal with conflict in his life and how God blesses him in the end.<br />
