People suggest to me that if God needed to kill His only belovèd Son in order to forgive the sin transmitted to us from Adam
I Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
why didn't He just get Eve pregnant, kill that and be done with it? This is ridiculous for a number of reasons. First of all, Jesus was to be descended from King David. If there is no-one to reign over, how can anyone be a King?
Matthew 22:41-42 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
It only took a moment for Eve to choose disobedience. From that moment everything began to die. Using language, Eve envenomed her husband. The ground sprouted thorns and thistles. Future generations would inherit that vileness from Adam, sin growing in them from conception.
Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
David wrote that. He understood why he was a foul sinner and in that way God has enabled us to appreciate the task before Him, making a baby specifically to be murdered, just to set us free. He chose us from the beginning for Salvation.
II Thessalonians 2:13b God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.
If Eve had been the mother of Jesus we would never have known how much God loves us. We would never have seen how it was necessary to kill everyone because of sin. We would not understand the concept of just a few being chosen or the need for blood to be shed. We would not have the examples of Abraham or Moses to help us understand. And that's why Easter is about Jesus. It's the time we remember all those lessons, the reason
why Jesus was born as well as
that He was born and this is when it happened. This is when He was killed.
..Thank you Jesus
Thank you Lord
