Esau went beyond the point of no return. He traded his birthright for a single meal. Pastor Greg Laurie urges us to be wise and learn from the mistakes of those who went before us. 'Watch out for the Esau syndrome!' he says, 'trading away God’s lifelong gift in order to satisfy a short-term appetite'. Esau, although he regretted that impulsive act and wanted God’s blessing, was too late by then, tears or no tears.
