The Sins of Jacob and Esau

It is evident to me from this passage that both Jacob and Esau were sinful men. They were both trying to get what they wanted out of life. This interaction between these two brothers who were fraternal twins, has much to teach us about sin. And hopefully we will take it to heart, and pray about ourselves and our own way of thinking, so that God will be pleased to hear our prayers, and give us the grace and ability to lovingly interact with our closest relatives and with each other. So the question that we want to think about at this time is this: What kind of men were Esau and Jacob and how can we learn from their sinful mistakes? I think that we can learn from these men the following important lessons.
