A True Beginning – Funeral March (Genesis 35:1-29)

“Jacob then reminds his family that the Lord has been with them everywhere they’ve gone. They didn’t need the gods of the land gods who couldn’t speak or help or give. You have to carry those gods with you. You have to clothe them and protect them. Meanwhile, the One True God walks with us even when we are unfaithful. Jacob could look back on the years of distress and it was clear the Lord was his shield even while they were playing around Canaanite idols.“
