Durch Jonathan S. Rose
Title: Leah and Rachel
Topic: Salvation
Summary: Of the two wives of Jacob, Leah symbolizes earthly priorities and Rachel symbolizes spiritual priorities. Jacob loved Rachel more, but we start out preferring what is meant by Leah. Over time, though, the Lord can teach us to value what is meant by Rachel.

and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!"
