Welcome to the beginning!! I know this is week four, but we spent the week “In The Beginning.”
We studied Genesis. I
think Genesis has a really awesome story to tell, a story about
redemption. Yup that is right I said redemption not creation. You might think I am crazy, but in the end you might agree with me. I will get on with the story.
Once upon a time God made a plan, for this plan to he needed the 3 P's ( Place, People, Presence ). He created the earth and filled it with many things, one of which, was the Garden of Eden. (Place) In this place he made Adam and Eve, (People) and God said that it was good. God hung out with his people (Presence). Everything was going great; God had his 3 P's, and he was enjoying living with his image bearers. Then we, the people, had go and ruin things. God gave us one rule, and we had to go and break that rule.
On top of breaking this rule we had to go hide ourselves from God's presence. Now God's plan had 2 P's (Place and some disobedient People). God had to establish a new plan, and this resulted in kicking us out of his place. There goes another P. Now for the really cool part about redemption!! I am so excited. We got kicked out of the garden, suffered the consequences of our sins, multiplied and filled the earth. God chased after us the whole time trying to get our attention so that we could go back to his plan of 3 P's. Finally, after many years of disaster on our part, God got one man to stop and listen to him. This man is Abraham, aka father of a multitude.
Now God's plan is back on track we have people. God asked Abraham to give up everything, leave his homeland, his family, his life, and go to a place God would show him. Abraham was obedient and did as God asked. In return, God promised to make a nation from him and give them a land, aka the promise land. We now have place. God promised to be with his people (Presence).
God's plan is back in action; we now have the 3 P's. Do you see what happened? God created us and hung out with us everything was good. We caused trouble, ruined everything and ran away from God. But God made a way for us to came back to him. He redeemed our wrong.
I told you this was a story about redemption.
