Man has fallen! He has fallen before his loving God!
Filled with grief and guilt, he covered his face with both hands and wails.
The woman, head lifted high, gazed into the distance with determination shining in her eyes. The man was unable to withstand the woman’s temptation because of his own curiosity and greed. Regrettably, he did not admit his own mistakes and placed all the blame and responsibility on the woman. In contrast, the woman bravely accepted the consequences of her mistakes. Both were expelled from the Garden of Eden. From then on, they would earn their food through hard labor and she would give birth in pain. In spite of this, the woman accepted the punishment courageously. Because of her honesty and repentance, genuine opportunities would appear later in life.
Holding a sword with the right hand, an angel banished them from the Garden. However, the angel’s left hand tenderly rested on the man's shoulder.
True love must discipline. But true love also speaks comfort, faith, and hope.
Where love abounds, forgiveness abounds. God’s loving kindness never gives up. God seeks to restore humans trapped in sin.
