Genesis 34 is the kind of chapter that makes you uncomfortable — and that’s exactly why we need it. In this message, Dr. Scott Wilson walks us through one of the Bible’s most difficult stories to show us something we all need to see: sin is ugly, and our response to sin can be just as ugly. But for every kind of sinner in this story — and in our own lives — there is a beautiful hope available.
Through Dinah’s story, we see three responses to sin that still show up today: apathy, blindness, and revenge. None of them bring healing. None of them bring justice. And all of them remind us that we are more like the broken people in this chapter than we’d like to admit — which means we need the same grace they needed.
If you’ve been wronged, if you’re carrying anger, or if you’re simply honest enough to admit that your response to someone else’s sin hasn’t always been right either, this message points to the only place where real hope is found: the cross of Jesus Christ, where God chose grace over getting even with us.
