God Promises a Savior to a Sinful World

Say:  Here, at the beginning of the Bible, is the beginning of God's promises of a Savior.



The Bible Reading

Read Genesis 3:1-15     

Ask:  God made a beautiful and perfect world—what went wrong?  (sin)

Ask: God placed a curse on the snake. God said that a descendant of the woman (Eve) would bruise the head of the serpent (the devil). Who was God talking about? (Jesus)

Ask:  How would Jesus defeat the devil? (dying on the cross for our sins and rising to life again)

The Activity

Sin entered the world. Here, at the beginning of the Bible, we learn about God’s plan to send a Savior. This print of Mary consoling Eve was created by one of the sisters at Our Lady of the Mississippi Abbey/Monastery Candy. Due to copyright purposes, I am showing just a small portion of the picture. Click here to pull up a copy of the entire print. Look at it closely.  What do you see and think about:

  • the facial expressions of Mary and Eve
  • their postures
  • their actions
  • other items in the picture

Say: Despite our sin, God never stopped loving His people Israel—and He never stops loving us.
