Rabbi Kurt Schneider: 本集节目探讨了雅各的故事，他为了获得祝福而使用欺骗手段，最终不得不与上帝摔跤，这象征着我们与上帝之间在怀疑、恐惧和骄傲方面的挣扎。雅各的故事预示着耶稣，耶稣是更伟大的雅各，他不仅胜过雅各，他也是在圣山上与雅各摔跤的那一位，他给了雅各新的名字，并使他和他的兄弟和好。耶稣来是为了除去雅各和井边妇人对自身的依赖，如同他与雅各摔跤并赋予他新的目标一样，他也给井边妇人带来了改变。我们对自力更生、满足和祝福的尝试都会失败，当我们谦卑自己并向上帝呼求祝福时，他会迅速地恢复、救赎和复活我们。耶稣为了我们而谦卑自己，死在十字架上，并复活，以便我们像雅各一样被改变。耶稣是更伟大的雅各，因为他完成了雅各未能完成的救赎和与上帝的完全合一。
