Genesis 4: 25 And Adam knew his wife
again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, “For God has appointed
another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.” 26 And
as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh.
Then men began to call on the name of the Lord.
============
With paradise lost,
grief filled the land. Adam and Eve may have stayed near the garden in hopes
that maybe it would be reopened. But the cherubim that GOD placed in front of
the entrance would not budge. To top it all off, their son killed their other
son. Years passed and Adam and Eve had another son.
My Observations:
- GOD had another path to HIS salvation.
- GOD chose sinners to execute HIS plan.
- Anyone who calls on the name of the LORD will not be put to shame.
Cain’s family left
GOD and became extremely resourceful. On the other hand, Adam and Eve’s family
acknowledged GOD by saying “GOD has appointed another seed.” Two paths were
being defined in humanity. One that would follow human accomplishments, and one
who would worship GOD, asking for help at every turn.
No curse was placed
on Seth, rather the announcement of his birth was significant. It’s not that
his siblings were insignificant, rather Seth’s birth would contain the family
from which JESUS would choose to come in the form of a human. Although I
believe it was JESUS who walked in the garden, I also believe JESUS was born
through a line of humans.
Challenge
- Why do you think GOD tells Moses about Adam’s statement?
- Have you ever been curious about your family tree?
- Have you considered how special you are to GOD?
