At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. God brought Him into the world to be a perfect sacrifice; to pay the price for man’s fall and sin.
God put man, Adam, in the garden of Eden and in Genesis 2:16 -17 we read “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
Later the serpent deceived the woman Eve and in Genesis 3:6 it is written “...she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” Man fell!!!
God’s love immediately made provisions to rescue man by and through the seed of woman which turned out to be Jesus. In Genesis 3:15 God said “...I will put enmity between thee (serpent) and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Jesus redeemed man on the cross!!!
Praise the Lord!!!
