Zooming in on Humanity in the Garden

Genesis 2:4-25 The map on your phone allows you to zoom in or out with ease. You can see the whole world or zero in on a street corner - it's pretty amazing!  What do we notice when we zoom in on humanity?  We come to Genesis 2:4-25 this Sunday in our adventure in the first book of the Bible and discover the cosmic and universal view of creation in Genesis 1 suddenly narrows to a specific place - a garden - specific trees - a tree of life and a tree of the knowledge of good and evil - and specific people - Adam and Eve.  We zoom in on us, humanity, in a particular place. What are we to make of Eden? Well, what are you to make of who you are and where you live and who you share yourself and that place with?  Now there's a timeless question! Phil Wagler, Interim Pastor
