A lesson plan focusing on the Bible story in Genesis 32:22-33:11, where we hear about Jacob preparing to meet his brother Esau after many years. Jacob is worried because he tricked Esau long ago. One night, Jacob wrestles with a mysterious man until morning. The man blesses Jacob and gives him a new name, Israel, because he fought with God and won. When Jacob and Esau meet, Esau is happy to see Jacob and hugs him, showing he forgives him.
