"He [the coming Deliverer] shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel." (Genesis 3:15a)
Way back in the garden of Eden...
After Adam and Eve had sinned, God confronted them. Because He was holy, He had to punish their sin. They would be separated from Him. Their lives and their beautiful world would be completely changed to one of hardship, sorrow, and pain. One day, they would die.
They deserved all this.
What they did not deserve was God's promise, given along with the judgment on their sin: He foretold the coming Deliverer who would destroy Satan, crushing his head, and free us from sin.
Amid the first awful sin-streaks in the pages of our history, the gentle words of grace were written.
And the Story continued to unfold...
