Thursday: Human Destiny
Read Genesis 3:15-24. As a result of the Fall, what happened to Adam and Eve?
While God’s judgment of the serpent is explicitly identified as a curse (Genesis 3:14), God’s judgment of the woman and of the man is not. The only time where the word “curse” is used again, it applies only to the “ground” (Genesis 3:17). That is, God had other plans for the man and the woman, as opposed to the serpent. They were offered a hope not offered to him.

Because the woman’s sin is due to her association with the serpent, the verse describing God’s judgment of the woman was related to the judgment of the serpent. Not only does Genesis 3:16 immediately follow Genesis 3:15-16, but the parallels between the two prophecies clearly indicate that the prophecy concerning the woman in has to be read in connection to the Messianic prophecy in Genesis 3:15. God’s judgment of the woman, including childbearing, should therefore be understood in the positive perspective of salvation (compare with 1 Timothy 2:14-15).
Because the man’s sin is due to his listening to the woman instead of listening to God, the ground from which man has been taken is cursed (Genesis 3:17). As a result, man will have to work hard (Genesis 3:17-19), and he will then “return” to the ground where he comes from (Genesis 3:19), something that never should have happened, and that was never part of God’s original plan.
It is significant that against this hopeless prospect of death Adam turns, then, to the woman, where he sees the hope of life through her giving birth (Genesis 3:20). That is, even amid the sentence of death, he sees the hope of life.
Meanwhile, as would any loving parent, God had wanted only good for them, not evil. But now that they knew evil, God was going to do all that He could to save them from it. Thus, even amid these judgments, all hope was not lost for our first parents, despite their open and blatant disobedience to God; even though they — living truly in paradise — had absolutely no reason to doubt God, to doubt God’s words, or to doubt His love to them.
| Though we tend to think of “knowledge” in and of itself as good, why is that not always the case? What are some things that we are better off not knowing? |
Amen!

BUC morning worship – open to all
One of the positive spin-offs from the Covid pandemic is the regular weekday 8:30 am BUC morning worship slot, which is broadcast on the BUC News and BUC Youth Facebook pages. Office staff and guest speakers join by Zoom but there’s a much wider audience on Facebook.
The great thing about this approach is that our Facebook viewers can send in their comments and prayer requests in real time, and we can then respond to them. We have a lot of regular viewers who we’re getting to know quite well,…Source: https://adventist.uk/news/article/go/2022-04-06/1109/

Have you ever felt utterly separated from God after falling away from Him? The beauty of this chapter is that, notwithstanding the seriousness of the golden calf idolatry, God honors His servant Moses– “for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.” What a gracious God we serve! Moses longs to have even further confirmation of God’s promise and reassurance that God would be with Him and so he pleads, “Show me your glory.” No fallen man can stand in the presence of God face to face, but mutual respect and Moses' purity of heart at this moment brought the Creature and creator together. Do you want to feel God’s intimate presence in your life today? Put away all sin that might separate you from Him and ask Him to make Himself evident in your life. The same God who passed before Moses as he was hid in the cleft of a rock can reveal Himself to you. He is the same gracious Jesus who came to save you from your sins. Michael Hasel
