Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, "I'll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel." Laban said, "It's better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me." So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his lover for her.

Jacob was so in love with Rachel that he committed seven years of work in order to have her as his wife. I'd like to say that I would do the same thing for my lovely wife, however, I can't say it would seem like days! Don’t get me wrong . . . it would be worth it . . . but it would still feel like seven years. And if that wasn't enough, Laban (Rachel's father) tricked Jacob and gave him the older daughter instead. Jacob had to work another seven years to get the one he truly loved . . . and he actually did it!!!!
JESUS is so in love with HIS church, that HE committed HIS life to her. HIS Eternal Life! And eventhough we, the church, don't keep our word to HIM all the time. . . JESUS still did it. Jacob was driven by love to get his wife and JESUS was driven by LOVE to give HIS life. Who do you love that much!
