Genesis 32:27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”
“Jacob,” he answered.
One other time when asked, Jacob had deceived his father Isaac, and
answered the question, "Esau".
This time in the presence of the angel of the Lord, we get the honest
answer. The answer that reveals a name that means, cheater, supplanter,
one who takes the heel.
It is in this place of providing an honest answer, the admission of the
guilt of who we are, that opens the door for us to be given a new name.
Admitting who we are allows the release of His life.
We are transacting with God on His terms.
