Check this out. Six weeks ago we started going through Genesis at our Tuesday night Bible study “The Theologians”. It “just so happens” that this week we started chapter 3, the first major pivot in human history when Adam & Eve eat from the forbidden tree. There are some really cool parallels between that chapter and the Passion week (the week leading up to Easter). Check out the 10 below. Pick 1 this week and do a deeper dive into it. Better yet, pick a couple per day. Ready your heart for what the Holy Spirit is preparing for you Sunday. The biblical narrative intentionally frames redemption as a reversal and fulfillment of Eden. The tree in Genesis and the cross are not incidental parallels; they are structurally linked. 1. Tree as the site of death → Tree as the site of life restored In Genesis 3, a tree becomes the occasion for death entering the world. In the New Testament, the cross is repeatedly described as a “tree” (Acts 5:30; 1 Peter 2:24). The instrument of execution becomes the means of life. 2. Eating brings death → Partaking brings life Eve takes and eats, leading to death. Jesus institutes the Lord’s Supper—“take, eat…this is my body”—as participation in His life (Matthew 26:26). The pattern is inverted: consumption now mediates life rather than death. 3. Desire for wisdom apart from God → Wisdom revealed through the cross The tree was “to be desired to make one wise.” Humanity seeks wisdom independently. In contrast, the cross is described as “the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24), but it appears foolish by human standards. True wisdom is now located in submission to God’s redemptive act. 4. Nakedness and shame → Covering and righteousness After the fall, humanity is exposed and ashamed. At the cross, Jesus is stripped and exposed (Matthew 27:28–31), bearing shame publicly. Through this, believers are “clothed” in righteousness (Galatians 3:27). 5. Self-made coverings → God-provided covering Fig leaves represent inadequate human solutions. The animal skins in Genesis 3:21 anticipate divine provision. At the cross, Christ provides the final covering—His righteousness imputed, His blood atoning.

See you tomorrow. Scott is out of town-Lee will be leading the group. Usual time.
