Continuing in our look at mankind's beginning in the garden of Eden, Eve focusing her attention on the forbidden fruit , found that it was,' desirable'. I read recently of a man who had an accident in his car, the reason it happened was, his front car window was covered in frost, he had made a small window in it, but not enough. he was charged with dangerous driving. Desire is like that, Eve became blind to everything except the tree and its fruit. Samson's desire for a woman (Judges 16.)caused him to loose his eyes and his freedom, uncontrolled desire can destroy you. The desire for whatever has cost some everything, even their very souls ,and that's a very high price to pay. It tells us as regards our Saviour , that there was no beauty in Him, that they should desire Him ( Isaiah 53 v 2 ) Eve ate some of the fruit, she got her desire, but was it worth it?, but not content with what she did, she give some to her husband, it is sad when we sin, but it is even worse, when we encourage others to follow us in our folly .From that moment on everything changed ,they lost their innocence, they lost paradise, everything changed for then for us all, the awful damaged had been done. Only when the second Adam came , would there be an opportunity ,to return to a relationship with God ,on this good Friday let us rejoice that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, and that's the truth.
