I wonder how beautiful Eve was. Was she so beautiful <br />That Adam was swayed by her beauty? <br />Or was it like an echo of doubt within his own heart? <br />Or did he believe that Eve was sent by God <br />As if to say, 'Don't worry about what I said before... <br />It's OK, go ahead, eat the fruit. It's just fruit. <br />It can make you wise, but don't worry... <br />You won't really die...' <br /> <br />Was Eve already pregnant before she ate the fruit? <br />Was this fruit like a pregnant woman's craving <br />For something illogical? <br />Or was it that she was jealous of Adam <br />Naming the animals and even her as well? <br /> <br />For whatever reason she ate the fruit, <br />Remember, she was still alive. She didn't fall down dead. <br />She was still within that same day. <br />So Adam should have had a brain in his head that said, <br />'I'll wait till tomorrow! If she's still alive then, <br />I can consider God as telling us a lie...' <br /> <br />In that same day, <br />Sin in its wretched contamination perverted Mankind. <br />Here, in Genesis, <br />We learn that God would send a Saviour. <br />Throughout the Old Testament, <br />We learnt more and more of God's plan. <br /> <br />The passion of the Christ shows us <br />The courage it takes to be a Saviour. <br />But how many would pray <br />And intercede for torturers and sadists? <br /> <br />Throughout the centuries since, we have a Saviour. <br />He is the King of Love and the Prince of Peace, <br />The Good Shepherd and the Lamb of God, <br />The Friend of Sinners yet the Justified Judge. <br /> <br />His name is Jesus and He is truly unique, special, holy. <br />No wonder billions honour Him every day, <br />For they, too, have known of Genesis <br />And seen the revelation...<br /><br />Denis Martindale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/adam-and-eve-and-jesus/
