The Garden and the Cross #easter #biblestudy #goodfriday

There are some fascinating connections between the Garden of Eden and the cross of Christ. Romans 5:18 NIV says, “Just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.” Rabbi Jason Sobel offers some fascinating connections from a Hebrew perspective. He says the reason Jesus died on a tree, is because in the very beginning we stole from a tree. And Christ’s hands were pierced because our hands stole from the tree. His side was pierced because Eve came from the side of Adam. Jesus is making atonement for Eve because she’s the one who led us into the first sin. A crown of thorns was put on His head because the curse of creation is that the ground will produce thorns and thistles. On the cross Jesus is taking the curse on himself, on his head, on his hands, in his side. He’s reversing and undoing what mankind did and reconciling us to God.
