In the Beginning - Pt.6

A play; a horror movie; and as we move forward, it's almost as if we are reading some modern newspaper headlines! Typing this as the war in Ukraine continues, it is not unreasonable to say that now, as then, we stand on the brink of plunging ourselves into total chaos.

As we read Genesis 4, we are introduced to the first family, as Adam and Eve produce two sons. However, these two children, as they grew to adulthood, were very different. Cain, the elder, became a farmer while his younger brother, Abel, became a shepherd.

In the Beginning - Pt.5

For the past few posts, I have suggested that we could imagine ourselves in a theatre, watching a play. Perhaps for some, that suggestion was even useful! However, this is no longer a play - it has turned into a horror film!

We are still in the third chapter of Genesis, but we now move into the second half of that chapter, (Remember, of course, that no part of the Bible was originally written in chapters and verses! These are a relatively recent 'invention' designed to make it easier to find a particular verse, or passage!).

The final action of the Creator, in this situation, is justice - but justice blended with mercy.

Just realised that I failed to share this on Sunday! Still, it does mean that you don't have to wait as long for the next episode!!!

In the Beginning - Pt.4

Continuing the theatre analogy, this post brings the entrance of the villain of the play! Booo!
If there is an orchestra playing at this stage, they would surely be playing the well-known Frank Sinatra song: "I did it my way"! We find the script in Gen.3: 1-13, which I would encourage you to take time to read. The devil, in the form of a serpent, tempts us all into the one basic sin that we must all face - that of deciding for ourselves what is right, or wrong, instead of taking God's word for it! The one restriction placed on our first parents was, you may remember, "... of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die." (Gen 2:17).

In the Beginning - Pt.3

If we imagine that we are still in the theatre that I pictured in Pt.2, then the opening chorus has now ended, and we may settle down to watch the hero of the play, and the heroine. We think of them as Adam and Eve. We move, now, into the main part of Genesis ch.2.

The first chapter of Genesis was what we might refer to as a cosmic, God's-eye view of the creation, with human beings, created in the image of the Creator, as the climax of the process. However, when we come to the second chapter, we find that the focus has shifted.

Newsflash!
Good evening! We interrupt the series on "Beginnings" with news of a dramatic event outside the city of Jerusalem. Actually, the event occurred almost 2,000 years ago, but its effect is still felt throughout the world today. I refer, of course, to the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, who had been crucified, and entombed, just a couple of days earlier. This was stupendous news then; it is equally stupendous news now. Well, it is if it is true! But what if it is what would nowadays be termed "fake news"?
There have certainly been those who have made that claim, and offered alternaive "theories" for what happened at the time. For example, there are those who claim that Jesus didn't actually die. What really happened, they claim, is that He swooned and, in the cool atmosphere of the tomb, He revived, made His way out, and claimed that He had risen from the dead!
Well, it may sound reasonable - but let's look a little more closely.

About

I am an ordained minister of the Gospel, happily married and with two daughters, one of whom is herself married, and who has provided me with a grandson. I hold a number of academic qualifications, from a variety of establishments and in a variety of disciplines.
I have led a varied life and now, with my wife, reside in France where I minister to both English-speaking and French-speaking groups. I host a totally non-commercial blog (www.crazyrev.blogspot.com) which is, predominantly, a 'ministry blog', and endeavour to post with a certain regularity!
I have authored three books on "... the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints." (Jude, v.3) which may be accessed from the blog. ALL royalties are sent, directly, to Release International, in support of the persecuted church.
