Hey, Y'all,
Today's RST is based on a powerful thought of Max Lucado's -- I'd never thought of this passage in quite this way before.
Genesis 3:21 has been called 'the first gospel sermon,' preached not by preachers, but by God himself. And not in words, but in symbol and action.
'The LORD God made clothes from animal skins for the man and his wife and clothed them.'
God covered them. He protected them.
Love always does.
Made me think immediately of Psalm 91 -- to say nothing of the innumerable other passages describing the Lord's relentless love and actual affection for us, yes, even to the point of covering us and our shortcomings. Reminds me yet again --I don't get tired of this visual -- of the prodigal's father and His reaction to his son's appearance on the horizon (Luke 15:20):
'But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.'
Yep, consistent is our God; it's 'the first gospel sermon,' reiterated, and again, not in words, but in powerful symbol and unmistakable action. God is entirely too good to me, to you.
You've been prayed for today...
