Rabbi Kurt Schneider: 本集节目探讨了雅各的故事，他为了获得优势而使用欺骗手段，最终导致他面临来自他兄弟以扫的审判。这个故事预示着我们与上帝的关系中也存在挣扎，我们常常为了满足自己的愿望而采取捷径，最终却发现只有依靠上帝才能获得真正的祝福。雅各与上帝的摔跤象征着这种挣扎，他最终在绝望中向上帝寻求帮助，并获得了新的名字和祝福。 Rabbi Kurt Schneider: 圣经中的英雄人物都存在缺陷，他们的故事指向一位更伟大的英雄——耶稣。雅各的故事也指向耶稣，耶稣是比雅各更伟大的存在，他与雅各摔跤，并赐予他新的名字和与兄弟和解的机会。耶稣帮助雅各和井边的妇人摆脱了自我依赖，并赐予他们新的目标和意义。耶稣的牺牲使我们能够像雅各一样被改变，获得真正的救赎和新的祝福。 Rabbi Kurt Schneider: 雅各的故事也与井边的妇人联系起来，她与耶稣的对话也体现了与上帝的挣扎和最终的救赎。她试图通过宗教辩论来掩饰自己的不安全感和罪恶感，但耶稣帮助她认识到真正的敬拜是在灵性和真理中。最终，她认识到耶稣就是她一直盼望的弥赛亚，并获得了新的希望和自由。 Rabbi Kurt Schneider: 通过雅各和井边妇人的故事，我们可以看到，我们常常试图通过自己的努力来获得满足和祝福，但最终都会失败。只有当我们谦卑自己，向上帝寻求帮助时，才能获得真正的转变和救赎。耶稣为我们牺牲，使我们能够像雅各一样被改变，获得新的祝福和目标。他愿意承担我们的罪恶和羞耻，赐予我们新的生命和希望。
