Paradise Lost... For a Bit (Genesis 3:1-24) [Jay Thomas]

Picture yourself entering a once glorious palace that has fallen into disrepair. It obviously used to be grand but now it’s in tatters – parts of it looked bombed out, there is vandalism, furniture is in decay, fabrics are thread bare. A question haunts you: what happened here? How did it get this way? Moses is answering that question to his contemporaries – and us. Yet another layer of Genesis 1-3 is the reality of sin, a key character in the storyline of the Bible - yet a character that has a shelf life - and sin's end is coming soon. Praise be to God.
