genesis 1 and skin garments
so i'm preparing my first real "talk" for when intervarsity takes college students down to new orleans over spring break. i am doing two talks - one on why God would allow so much suffering and how the world was not always how we see it and will not always be this way. I'm also doing the last talk on how Jesus invites us to be a part of God's redemption in the world. And I'm giving the invitation to follow Jesus at the end!
So - Genesis 1-3 is amazing. There is so much there, and there is ALWAYS more to learn in re-reading it. Without listing my entire talk...the thing that made me write this post was Genesis 3:21 "The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them." Seemingly trivial right?
IMMEDIATELY after humanity turns their back on God and his plan, they choose outside of His love and are cast out of the garden. And the FIRST thing God does is make them clothes! Adam and Eve felt shame because they were naked and the first thing God does after basically being stabbed in the back is....clothe them so they don't feel shame!?
Amazing.
This is something I'm re-learning (or maybe actually learning for the first time) that God stinkin loves us - no matter how many times we turn our backs on Him - he still clothes our nakedness and covers our shame.
Could clothes be the first post fall example of God meeting humans where they are at?
