Eden Vs Gethsemane

The beauty of the sun radiating on their faces

Finding out they are in Eden

A rosy garden filled with trees, fruits and herbs

Picking an apple to eat

So she can see like Him

Not knowing she was coerced

An apple a day they say keeps the doctor away

Should have been an apple a day keeps you away

From His Garden (God’s presence)

By their actions sin entered the world

Bringing about death (and the need for clothes 😉😉)

Who beguiled you? O Eve!

Evicted from Eden by its creator

Never to return nor see its beauty

Guarded by a cherubim with a flaming sword

A life of struggle, sin and whatnot began

I wonder who eats all those fruits now

By His grace I’ll see it someday

Then comes a man whose head is white like wool

And hairs as white as snow

Whose eyes are as a flame of fire

And His voice as the sound of many waters

Who went about doing His Father’s will

Healing all that were oppressed by the serpent in Eden

In His own garden which wasn’t as rosy as Eden

Instead it was filled with tears that dropped as blood

He went to die for sins that weren’t His

Sins brought about by combined actions of Eve and the serpent (don’t get me started on this guy 😡😡)

So as to redeem a lost world back to His Father

Thereby showing a perfect example of Holiness and Righteousness

He now lives forever

Seated at the right hand of the Father

With a name that is above every other name

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow

And made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus

Giving us hope for a brighter future
