Important Features of Jacob Wrestling with God
Jacob wrestles with an unknown opponent, who is later identified as God.
He refuses to let go of his opponent until he is blessed, taking up the challenge with the famous words: ‘I will not let you go unless you bless me’.
The struggle is intense, symbolic of conflict and a longing for God.
After the struggle is over, the opponent changes Jacob's name to Israel, because he ‘has struggled with gods and men and has prevailed’.
The Bible describes that from that day on, Jacob walked with a limp, as a sign of the struggle, but at the same time as a blessed man.
Symbolic meaning
The struggle is often seen as a metaphor for believers' struggle with God and life.
It shows that opening oneself up to an encounter with God can lead to ‘brokenness’ but also to a deeper, more dependent relationship with Him.
