Genesis 3:14-24: Sin Breaks, God Saves

The LORD does not give the serpent a chance to speak. Instead, the LORD quickly speaks concerning the defeat of the devil at the hands of the Offspring of the woman. This Savior will be the Wounded Victor. As God's people wait for the Savior to come, both woman and man will experience the brokenness they have brought into the world because of their sin. Still, Adam and Eve believe the LORD's promise. He clothes them in animal skins as He drives them from the Garden, barring the way to return to the tree of life, yet setting the stage for the rest of the story by which He will bring them back into His presence.  Rev. Jeremiah Johnson, pastor at Glory of Christ Lutheran Church in Plymouth, MN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Genesis 3:14-24.  To learn more about Glory of Christ, visit gloryofchrist.org. “In the Beginning” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies Genesis. The first book of Moses sets the stage for God’s entire story of salvation. As we learn the beginning of the story, God prepares us to receive the fulfillment of the story: Jesus Christ, the Offspring of the woman who has crushed our enemy’s head.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: [email protected]
