Genesis 32:25. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh;
Where the column of the leg supports the body, and if that be disjointed, a man has lost all his strength. It was brave of Jacob thus to wrestle, but there was too much of self about it all. It was his own sufficiency that was wrestling with the God-man, Christ Jesus. Now comes the crisis which will make a change in the whole of Jacob’s future life: "He touched the hollow of his thigh."
Genesis 32:25. And the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
