Jacob, one of the fathers of our faith, has a history of wrestling. From the moment he was in his mother’s womb he wrestled with his twin brother Esau. Later in life he lied and deceived his father to steal Esau’s birthright blessing. 20 years after being away from home, he wrestles with an angel of the Lord. His wrestling led to his repentance. Wrestling for identity and belonging gave birth to wisdom. And wisdom walks with a limp.
