This show is the seventh in a series looking into what the bible is and how we can begin to read it. In this episode we chat about how the Easter story is linked with the Adam and Eve story and how Jesus is Adam mark 2 turning the creation on its head. In the podcast we reference an ancient song the lyrics are below and worth a read. Faithful Cross, above all other, One and only noble Tree: None in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit thy peer may be. Sweetest wood, and sweetest iron, Sweetest weight is hung on thee, 1. Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle, Sing the ending of the fray; Now above the Cross, the trophy, Sound the loud triumphant lay: Tell how Christ, the world's Redeemer, As a Victim won the day. 2. God in pity saw man fallen, Shamed and sunk in misery, When he fell on death by tasting Fruit of the forbidden tree: Then another Tree was chosen Which the world from death should free. 3. Thus the scheme of our salvation Was of old in order laid: That the manifold deceiver's Art by art might be outweighed: And the lure the foe put forward Into means of healing made. 4. Therefore when the appointed fullness Of the holy time was come, He was sent, who maketh all things, Forth from God's eternal home: Thus he came to earth, incarnate, Offspring of a maiden's womb. 5. Lo! he lies an infant weeping, Where the narrow manger stands: While the Mothermaid his members Wraps in mean and lowly bands: And the swaddling clothes is winding Round his helpless feet and hands. 6. Thirty years among us dwelling, His appointéd time fulfilled, Born for this he meets his passion, For that this he freely willed; On the Cross the Lamb is lifted Where his life-Blood shall be spilled. 7. He endured the nails, the spitting, Vinegar, and spear, and reed; From that holy Body broken Blood and Water both proceed: Earth, and stars, and sky, and ocean By that flood from stain are freed. 8. Bend thy boughs, O Tree of glory; Thy relaxing sinews bend; For awhile the ancient rigour That thy birth bestowed suspend: And the King of heav'nly beauty On thy bosom gently tend. 9. Thou alone wast counted worthy This world's ransom to uphold: For a shipwrecked race preparing Harbour, like the Ark of old: With the sacred Blood anointed From the smitten Lamb that rolled. 10. To the Trinity be glory Everlasting, as is meet: Equal to the Father, equal To the Son and Paraclete: Trinal Unity, whose praises All created things repeat. Amen.
