Centre verse(Hebrews 12:17)"For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears" TEXT:HEBREWS 12:14-17. Some very insightful explanations of profane,which is our topic of discussion. Profane, or being profane is explained as follows: impure or defile,not concerned with religion or religion purposes, unconsecrated, not holy,unsanctified: serving to defile what is holy,to treat something sacred with irreverence and contempt. As Paul the apostle's letter to Hebrews points this serious hint to the life of Esau years ago. He summaries an essential warning to all never to neglect the privilege and opportunity that God has given to us through Christ sacrifice at calvary; neither should we deride at God's unchanging promises and other divine visitations in the church. Matthew Poole stated by given us unrelenting picture of that incident while pointing to the passage as:" Esau,...being Jacob's brother,who was most notoriously profane, who equally irreligiously despised the blessing of the birthright to which involved by God the double potion; the priesthood and dominion over the family, the blessing of the covenant, and being a type of Christ Jesus; he maliciously exchanged it to his younger brother, belittling and freely and fully make it over to him,all for single meal,the destructive gratifying of his pleasurable appetite. " The environment in different assemblies today shows the evil commentary of Man's life who has the singular immunity of inheriting Abraham's blessings but spumed them because of indiscipline, indiscretion and inability to measure his thought and actions in the light of future predictions. Esau missed that ultimate and irremediable opportunity to include among the heroes of faith. Even though he sought to repossess it diligently with tears,he did not succeed, because he scorned that precious gift from God. How do you handle sacred things? Always be sober and vigilant. And make up your mind not to be profane, inconsiderate person like Esau. REMEMBER THIS: He who sells his birthright surrenders his destiny. Further Bible verses: Genesis 27:34,36,38.
