The first Sacrifice Lamb for a Man
Jesus said, " I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the Father except through me." Let me tell you the story from the beginning.... In Genesis God created man. He created man physically in his body so that he could see, hear, taste, smell, and touch. He also created man "in the image of God" or with a spirit, the bible says that adam and eve walked and talked with God. And lastly he created man with a soul(intellect, emotion, will). God created man to have relationship with God in the Garden of Eden and to be fruitfull and multiply and fill the earth. God also gave one command which was do not eat of one tree in the middle of the garden which was the tree of knowledge of good and evil, or you will surely die. Why did he give man this choice? Love is not love if you not have the choice not to love. God gave dominion over the earth to man and over all the animals, but there was a fallen angel who wanted the dominion for himself and wanted the dominion of the earth, the Prince of this world. Satan, the great deceiver, confronted Eve and said, "You will surely not die, and you will be as God knowing good and evil." Remember before this time man had lived in perfect harmony with God and had dominion of the earth given by God. Eve succumbed to the serpent and so did Adam. At this time the relationship between God and man was cut off. Man's Spirit died. God said that he would surely die what part of Adam died? Not his physical he had many children, not his soul, for he had will and showed emotion. No longer were Adam and Eve free to roam the garden, and now were ashamed of their clothing. Remember no sin can be with God. At this time is the first picture of Christ, where God had to step in for Adam and Eve and to give them clothing he gave them animal skin to cover their nakedness. The first time the thought of sacrifice is shown. Life for a life. The spilling of Blood something unheard of in a perfect Garden of Eden. A LAMB FOR A MAN. Also after this sin Jesus is also prophesied about in Genesis " Man will come from Woman and you (Satan) will bruise his heel and he(Jesus) will crush your head." Jesus calls himself the Son of Man and fullfills this prophecy by suffering on the cross, but being resurrected and conquering death and thus defeating Satan, I will explain further later. Wait for my next post. The story continues
