We loved Jodi G's response here. She writes, "I didn't realize how many pictures of the cross are in the Old Testament. Now as I read it, I will always be looking for Jesus and the Cross. The Word of God cleanses me as I read and meditate on it. I'm so thankful for the Word of God and that He left the Holy Spirit as our guide and comforter also."
In this lesson, we will return to the Garden of Eden and observe the temptation and subsequent fall of Adam and Eve and God's response, Who does something that had never been done before. Doing this will help us to understand both the need to and the power of washing at the cross.
The first five verses of Genesis 3 show Eve entering into dialogue with Satan, who had disguised himself as a snake. Satan spoke half-truths, Eve responded with her version of God's instructions.
Right away, we learn that if we enter into dialogue with Satan, who is tempting us, we will lose. It is best not to trust in our understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Better to flee, run, get out of there like Joseph did when tempted by Potiphar's wife (Genesis 39:12), or if unable to leave, then "resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7).
“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.” Genesis 3:6-7 (NIV)
