Mark 2:13-17

Numbers 13:4-16
When Moses changes Joshua’s name, he is signaling a change in the people – from hoping for freedom to receiving it. In baptism, God changes us from slaves to ourselves to become God’s free people, living in the world.

Genesis 32:22-30
Jacob is the “trickster,” and tries to pull a trick on God, wrestling for a blessing. God shows him the truth – both that the blessing is meant for him, and that it is difficult to bear. Our blessings come from hearing that we have a heavenly father, and that God offers blessing to us.
