Rabbi Kurt Schneider: 本集节目探讨了雅各的故事，他为了获得祝福而欺骗他人，最终导致他与上帝摔跤。这个故事象征着我们与上帝之间在怀疑、恐惧和骄傲方面的挣扎。雅各的经历表明，上帝的祝福只能按照上帝的条件给予，而不是我们自己的条件。通过与上帝的摔跤，雅各从欺骗者转变为与上帝同在并分享胜利者，他的名字也从雅各改为以色列。耶稣是比雅各更伟大的人物，他赐予雅各新名，并使他和他的兄弟和好。耶稣在雅各井旁与撒玛利亚妇人的相遇，也体现了与上帝摔跤的主题。撒玛利亚妇人与耶稣的对话，体现了她内心的挣扎和对救赎的渴望。耶稣帮助雅各和撒玛利亚妇人摆脱了自我依赖，并给予他们新的目标和意义。我们应该谦卑自己，向上帝寻求祝福，因为只有通过谦卑，才能获得真正的转变和救赎。
