This will be the last Sunday of our study of creation, since the following week is Palm Sunday and we will begin the study of Holy Week.
God had created everything and said it was good — very good. But Adam and Eve had a choice…one tree in the whole garden which they were not to eat from. Would they obey God? For a while they did…but the devil, in the form of the serpent, got Eve to question what God had said, then to disoby His command and eat the forbidden fruit. Sin entered the world, and with it man became very, very aware of evil.
Before their sin, God’s creation had been perfect. No pain, no death, no storms, no fear, no mosquitos, and on an on. But once God’s command had been broken, everything changed. The Bible says all of creation is now waiting for God to put it all back together again, which will not happen until Jesus returns for the second time.
Adam and Eve knew they had sinned, and hid from God in the garden. Their choices had consequences; choices always have results. They were no longer permitted to live in the beautiful garden of Eden, but had to work harder, in a world that no longer was perfect.
But God still loved them. He made clothes for them to protect them, and immediately began His work to restore them to fellowship with Him. This work won’t be complete until Jesus paid the penalty for sin, for Adam and Eve and everyone else, on the cross. And it won’t fully restore the fallen creation until Jesus returns to reign as King
Please join us Sunday as we study this important event in history. And it’s a great Sunday to invite a friend!
Tom and Sydney Cook
