Genesis 29:15-30 The Deceiver Deceived (August 10, 2025 AM, Dr. Michael Grasso)

"In this powerful passage, Jacob—the one who deceived his father and brother—is now himself deceived by Laban. But behind the earthly injustice is the divine hand of providence and justice. God's perfect justice brings Jacob face to face with his own sin, as the deceiver becomes the deceived.

This sermon explores:

🔹 The biblical principle of “eye for eye” and God's perfect justice

🔹 The similarities between Jacob’s deception and Laban’s treachery

🔹 How God's providence humbles sinners in order to save them

🔹 The gospel truth that God's justice and mercy meet perfectly at the cross of Christ

🔹 Why God’s grace comes not to the worthy—but to sinners like Jacob and us

Are you feeling the weight of your own sins? Take heart—God’s grace covers your sins the moment you turn to Christ. In Christ, justice is satisfied and mercy is freely given to all who repent and believe.
