"The Way"

“The Way”

Blessings folk!

Man had rebelled.
Man and Woman did the one thing…only one thing…that the Lord forbade.
They ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Adam placed the blame on “the Woman You gave me”.
He blamed God and the Woman.

Eve blamed the serpent who deceived her.
She acknowledged no responsibility of her own.
“It was the serpent’s fault”.

The serpent?
Well, he was a creature of the earth…I suspect just below man…that was indwelled by satan himself for the purpose of destroying God’s creation.
An innocent?
Perhaps.
But God’s plans and ways are higher than ours.

The punishment had been declared.

The serpent would crawl on his belly.
He would have enmity with Woman and her offspring.

Woman would have increased pain in child birth.
Her desire would be for her husband.

Man would now have to toil the ground by the sweat of his brow to provide sustenance.
Toiling rather than tending.

Man and Woman also gave up their innocence.
They abdicated their home.

They were cast out…

Gen 3:24

So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.


No longer did they have access to the perfect place of dwelling the Lord had provided.
No longer did they have access to the way to the Tree of Life.
The way was guarded by the cherubim and the flaming sword…wonder what that was?

But, there is a way…
There is a way to Life…
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Life.

John 14:6

Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.


Be certain that you are on the way to Life.
