Only one way back to God
,
The Garden of Eden saw Adam hide from God. The Garden of
Gethsemane saw Jesus embrace God. Adam succumbed to temptation, Jesus resisted
temptation. By birth we belong to Adam. By new birth we belong to Jesus. Two
representative human beings. Two destinies. Two gardens. Only one way back to
God.

“Here it is in a nutshell: Just as one person did it
wrong and got us in all this trouble with sin and death, another person did it
right and got us out of it. But more than just getting us out of trouble, he
got us into life! One man said no to God and put many people in the wrong; one
man said yes to God and put many in the right.” - Romans 5:18-19 (The Message)
In the Garden of Eden, the
first human beings went off the rails and derailed the human race ever since.
Their declaration of
independence led to estrangement from God and a destiny away from the perfect
presence of God.
In the Garden of Gethsemane,
one human being, Jesus, stayed on track and offered the human race a way to get
back on track themselves.
Adam got it all wrong.
Jesus got it all right.
Each of us belongs either to
Adam or Jesus.
We share the destiny of Adam,
which is estrangement from God, or the destiny of Jesus, which is friendship
with God.
The Garden of Eden saw Adam
hide from God.
The Garden of Gethsemane saw
Jesus embrace God.
Adam succumbed to temptation,
Jesus resisted temptation.
Two representative human
beings. Two destinies.
Two gardens. Only one way
back to God.
