Bible Story: Adam and Eve

Bible Reading: Genesis 1:26-3:24

Bible Point: Jesus is the Better Adam

Questions to ask:

-How does this scripture point us to the gospel? 

-How did Adam’s and Eve’s sin impact their relationship with God? 

-How is Jesus better than Adam?

Parents, believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner and we are going to spend the remainder of the year focused on big biblical moments and how they lead up to the birth of Christ. This week we discussed Adam and Eve, their sin, and how Jesus is the better Adam. God made Adam perfect. He gave him authority over creation and every need he had was met and Adam still chose sin. As a kid, I thought it was pretty unfair that I never got a chance to live in the garden because I was certain I would not have chosen sin. Why did I have to live under Adam’s curse? Why didn’t I get a chance to show God how I could live without sin. How deceived I was; I choose sin over and over and over again. But praise God he sent a better Adam. Jesus came to Earth, lived a perfect life, and died so that we could be free of the curse. This is a hard concept for littles to grasp but as their parents, we have a sobering job to demonstrate repentance so that one day, they too can accept the gift that God offers through a better Adam.
