Intruder In Eden
Intruder In Eden
By Curtis Johnson
From the first through the sixth day, everything that God made was good.
For a while, everybody and everything performed exactly the way they should.
Adam and Eve were God’s master pieces, created and placed in the garden.
It was a beautiful and lovely place;everything they needed was in the garden.
There was The Tree of Life, inaccessible, in the center of the garden.
The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil was in the garden.
The devil himself, believed to be disguised in the serpent, was in the garden.
Instructions and consequences for disobedience were given by God in the garden.
One could say that an intruder entered that was not originally in the garden.
Death, the consequence of disobedience, was therefore born in the garden.
