“And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.”
But Esau said: I already have plenty, my brother. Keep what you have for yourself. The generosity of Esau's refusal — I already have plenty — is the unexpected grace of the encounter. The brother who wanted to kill Jacob refuses the gift and calls him my brother. The application: grace in reconciliation sometimes comes from the one who was wronged, not the one who wronged. Esau's plenty makes him generous.
