00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.520
 Genesis chapter 3, verse 8.

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:09.279
 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day.

00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:17.300
 And the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.879
 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, where are you?

00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:28.420
 And he said, I heard the sound of you in the garden and I was afraid

00:00:28.420 --> 00:00:32.660
 because I was naked and I hid myself.

00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:36.320
 And he said, who told you that you were naked?

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.740
 Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?

00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:49.140
 And the man said, the woman who you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I ate.

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.040
 And the Lord God said to the woman, what is this that you have done?

00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:02.140
 And the woman said, the serpent deceived me and I ate.

00:01:03.259 --> 00:01:04.299
 And man, we'll stop there.

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:13.039
 This summer I read about the trial of Adolf Eichmann.

00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:16.219
 Eichmann was a Nazi war criminal.

00:01:16.219 --> 00:01:27.239
 He was standing trial in 1960 in Israel for his role in sending millions of Jews to their deaths in concentration camps.

00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:35.219
 One key witness in the trial was a Holocaust survivor named Yehel Dinor.

00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:44.219
 Dinor, upon entering the courtroom, saw Eichmann for the first time since he had sent him to Auschwitz.

00:01:44.219 --> 00:01:49.120
 And Dinor was suddenly overcome with emotion.

00:01:49.340 --> 00:01:53.219
 He collapsed to the ground and began to sob uncontrollably.

00:01:55.459 --> 00:02:01.960
 Later on, a reporter interviewed Dinor and asked him what it was in that moment that had overcome him

00:02:01.960 --> 00:02:04.359
 and caused such great distress.

00:02:06.259 --> 00:02:09.780
 And his answer was sobering for us.

00:02:09.780 --> 00:02:19.920
 It wasn't fear of Eichmann, but fear of being Eichmann that overcame him.

00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:31.299
 He realized in that moment as he looked at this great oppressor of him and murderer of millions of others

00:02:31.299 --> 00:02:39.799
 that he was just a man, just an ordinary man like himself.

00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:50.939
 And he thought if one man is capable of such atrocities, then surely all men must be capable of such things.

00:02:52.380 --> 00:02:56.540
 The reporter concluded the interview with a sobering summary.

00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.680
 Eichmann is in all of us.

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:05.800
 James Johnston, in his commentary on the Psalms, wrote about this story.

00:03:05.860 --> 00:03:07.280
 It's where I was first introduced to it.

00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:10.400
 And he added this note at the end of the story.

00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:11.439
 He says,

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:17.460
 Dinor did not break down and collapse because he saw the horror of sin in one man.

00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:23.800
 He broke down because he saw the horror of sin in humanity.

00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:32.360
 Eichmann is in all of us because all of us are in Adam, he wrote.

00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:35.920
 And Adam and Eve sinned against God.

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.480
 And as their children, all of us have inherited their sin nature.

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.720
 We are sinners by birth.

00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:51.640
 And the proof of this is that we are so easily tempted to sin just as they were.

00:03:51.639 --> 00:04:01.939
 And when we begin to examine further in this study of Genesis 3, this is an inescapable reality.

00:04:03.379 --> 00:04:05.819
 We all sin in Adam.

00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.739
 And we all sin in the same way as Adam.

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.899
 And it's the record of this original sin that we covered last week in verses 1 to 7.

00:04:16.899 --> 00:04:22.079
 And today, though, our text covers the immediate aftermath of that fall.

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:28.379
 And again, these verses are functioning something like a mirror into our own souls.

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:36.620
 Each of us realizing that we do exactly as Adam and Eve do right here in the verses that we've just read.

00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:42.519
 As we work through this section and then the next section here in a couple of weeks,

00:04:42.819 --> 00:04:46.639
 I want to try and make a distinction here.

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:49.860
 It's not an entirely firm distinction.

00:04:50.019 --> 00:04:50.560
 There's overlap.

00:04:51.420 --> 00:05:00.199
 But I do want to make something of a distinction between what we would refer to as the consequences of Adam's sin

00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.399
 and the effects of Adam's sin.

00:05:05.339 --> 00:05:06.959
 I'm not trying to overcomplicate it.

00:05:07.019 --> 00:05:08.259
 Of course, there's overlap here.

00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:09.819
 But here's what I mean in the distinction.

00:05:10.539 --> 00:05:19.459
 By consequences, I mean those punitive judgments of God that are in response to our sin.

00:05:19.459 --> 00:05:25.019
 And I think we see those most clearly in verses 14 to 24.

00:05:25.239 --> 00:05:26.180
 We'll get there in two weeks.

00:05:26.259 --> 00:05:27.339
 Next week, we hear from Austin.

00:05:27.659 --> 00:05:30.759
 Two weeks from now, we hear 14 to 24.

00:05:31.699 --> 00:05:33.740
 When we get to that passage, what is it that we find?

00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:39.939
 We see that God is actually issuing a curse on the serpent, a curse on the ground.

00:05:40.099 --> 00:05:45.939
 He then explains the consequences, the judgment that will come upon the man and the woman.

00:05:46.039 --> 00:05:47.439
 He expels them from the garden.

00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.240
 All of those are punitive judgments from God.

00:05:51.339 --> 00:05:54.879
 They're the consequences that God is pouring out on Adam and Eve.

00:05:55.040 --> 00:06:02.560
 But that's a little bit different than what we read in 8 to 13 or see unfolding in the narrative of 8 to 13.

00:06:03.259 --> 00:06:07.920
 Here, I think maybe it's better to understand effects of sin.

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:15.920
 And by effects, I mean those natural results of sin's power and presence in Adam and Eve

00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.460
 immediately following their fall.

00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:22.180
 That's what I want us to focus on this morning.

00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:25.580
 Here's another way to think about it.

00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:32.100
 In chapter 2, God said that on the day that they eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,

00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:33.520
 he says it in 2.17,

00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:38.560
 on that day you shall surely die.

00:06:40.379 --> 00:06:44.020
 But then we get to chapter 3 last week and we read those first seven verses

00:06:44.020 --> 00:06:47.800
 and we see them doing exactly as God had commanded them not to do.

00:06:47.960 --> 00:06:52.640
 Eve and then Adam, they take the fruit, they eat the fruit, but then they do not die.

00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.779
 How are we to understand that?

00:06:56.919 --> 00:06:58.479
 They continue to live.

00:07:00.219 --> 00:07:09.699
 Death then, we understand, should not be reduced to the mere extinguishing of the body.

00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.439
 Of course, that's part of the consequences.

00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:20.120
 God is going to tell Adam later on in chapter 3 that because of all of this,

00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.639
 you are from the dust and to the dust you shall return.

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.540
 There will be an extinguishing of his body eventually.

00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:33.639
 But yet, we find here that death is somehow already reigning.

00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.180
 Said Ian Duggett, we read this last week,

00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:42.620
 in the Bible, death is the reversal of life, not of existence.

00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:49.060
 Adam and Eve's experience of life in its fullness immediately diminished

00:07:49.060 --> 00:07:54.040
 as their sin exposed them to shame and fear.

00:07:55.379 --> 00:08:02.259
 What we find in the aftermath of the fall is that death immediately began to reign

00:08:02.259 --> 00:08:08.340
 in Adam and Eve through the pervasive power of sin.

00:08:08.339 --> 00:08:13.819
 And these are what we're calling the effects of sin.

00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:21.959
 This is the natural result of sin's presence and power as death immediately begins to reign

00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:24.179
 in Adam and Eve.

00:08:25.339 --> 00:08:29.000
 And all of this is evident in their feelings of guilt and shame,

00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:35.079
 but it's also evident in the choices that they made as God confronted them.

00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:41.840
 Their hearts here, in 8 to 13, if you slow down and ponder it,

00:08:41.900 --> 00:08:44.720
 their hearts are suddenly hardened.

00:08:46.379 --> 00:08:48.440
 They're filled with fear.

00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:54.320
 Their corruption has spread to every part of their being.

00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:59.240
 In truth, they had just died,

00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:05.820
 just not in the way that they expected that death would come.

00:09:07.060 --> 00:09:08.879
 And it happened immediately.

00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:11.639
 Writes Kent Hughes,

00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:18.879
 In an instant, the original couple passed from life to death,

00:09:19.659 --> 00:09:22.600
 from sinlessness to sin,

00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:26.139
 from harmony to alienation,

00:09:26.139 --> 00:09:28.980
 from trust to distrust,

00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:31.139
 from ease to dis-ease.

00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:32.919
 It did not take a day.

00:09:33.259 --> 00:09:36.240
 It took a millisecond, he writes.

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:37.120
 It's immediate.

00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:38.759
 They're dead.

00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.039
 And we see this truth echoed throughout the scriptures, don't we?

00:09:43.100 --> 00:09:46.519
 Ephesians 2, Paul makes it clear in Ephesians 2

00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.299
 that we are dead in our sins and trespasses.

00:09:50.299 --> 00:09:53.599
 And then immediately he says that this is a living death.

00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:54.679
 We are dead.

00:09:54.859 --> 00:09:59.979
 And the evidence of that death is that we live according to the flesh

00:09:59.979 --> 00:10:02.500
 and the lust thereof and are under.

00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:08.079
 Now, not future wrath, but the present wrath of God.

00:10:09.019 --> 00:10:09.779
 We're dead.

00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:11.839
 Adam's dead now.

00:10:12.419 --> 00:10:14.839
 Eve is dead.

00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:18.620
 And what was true for them after the fall,

00:10:19.500 --> 00:10:23.240
 we understand then to be true for each and every one of us

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.759
 from the beginning of our existence.

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:32.840
 Death reigns in us as death reigned in them.

00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:38.300
 And still, when we get to these verses, there is hope.

00:10:38.299 --> 00:10:46.959
 Still, we find in God there is mercy to be offered.

00:10:48.459 --> 00:10:51.899
 And so let's look at it and see where we can find that mercy and that hope.

00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.039
 Notice first, I want you to see them hiding from God.

00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:58.299
 Hiding from God.

00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.399
 This is one of the effects of the fall.

00:11:01.579 --> 00:11:02.099
 Verse 8.

00:11:02.100 --> 00:11:27.580
 Charlie is still young enough.

00:11:27.580 --> 00:11:32.200
 Our little Charlie Grace is still young enough to get excited when I come home.

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.360
 Ashlyn and Harper are well beyond that phase of their life.

00:11:39.520 --> 00:11:41.759
 Julie is well beyond that phase of our marriage.

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:45.280
 But Charlie's not.

00:11:46.460 --> 00:11:49.420
 In fact, it's so fun for me.

00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:54.180
 It makes me want to have another kid just because I know Charlie's going to be out of this before long.

00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:56.200
 And I want to have another one just so that I can keep this going.

00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:57.600
 It's going to be lost before long.

00:11:58.379 --> 00:12:03.940
 There are times when I can pull into the driveway at the end of the day and be gone all day here or there.

00:12:04.280 --> 00:12:08.820
 And it's quiet enough in the house that she can hear the car come in the driveway.

00:12:09.020 --> 00:12:10.100
 And she hears me shut the door.

00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.620
 And as I'm walking up to the front door, about to put my key in.

00:12:13.680 --> 00:12:17.160
 And as I'm putting the key in, she hears all of these things and she puts it together.

00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:18.180
 Dad's home.

00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:20.840
 And I can hear her in the house.

00:12:21.420 --> 00:12:22.340
 Daddy's home.

00:12:23.180 --> 00:12:24.120
 I'm going to open the door.

00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.259
 I can walk in the house.

00:12:27.019 --> 00:12:31.580
 Julie and Ashlyn and Harper don't even realize that I've come in the door.

00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:34.159
 But not Charlie.

00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:37.500
 Immediately I'm met with one.

00:12:37.700 --> 00:12:38.740
 You know what it is.

00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:41.060
 It's that giant hug.

00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:41.580
 Right?

00:12:41.659 --> 00:12:43.519
 It doesn't matter if she's seen me already yet today.

00:12:43.560 --> 00:12:44.120
 It doesn't matter.

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.220
 It's that giant hug.

00:12:46.220 --> 00:12:53.279
 It is a blissful and joyful reunion between a father and his precious little girl.

00:12:55.180 --> 00:12:59.720
 And that's exactly what Adam and Eve would have experienced up until this point.

00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:03.960
 Whenever God had manifested his presence in the garden.

00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:04.639
 Joy.

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:06.639
 It was all theirs.

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:06.680
 Joy.

00:13:08.920 --> 00:13:09.759
 Excitement.

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:12.000
 Blessing.

00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:13.879
 Communion.

00:13:14.500 --> 00:13:15.180
 Fellowship.

00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:16.340
 It was all theirs.

00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:24.720
 To walk with God in Genesis is an expression often used to indicate this intimacy of fellowship

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.820
 that comes as a result of one's righteousness before God.

00:13:28.820 --> 00:13:38.180
 Enoch, Noah, Abraham, all noted in their righteousness for walking with God.

00:13:39.920 --> 00:13:45.560
 And that Adam and Eve recognized the sound of the Lord God, we're told in verse 8.

00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:52.680
 Suggest that they were well accustomed to the daily delight of communing with God.

00:13:52.680 --> 00:13:57.620
 But all of that joyful excitement is suddenly lost.

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:59.299
 It's gone.

00:14:00.419 --> 00:14:01.259
 Why?

00:14:03.379 --> 00:14:08.360
 Death has begun to reign through sin.

00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:16.200
 And when they heard that familiar sound of God's manifest presence in the garden,

00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.600
 rather than run to him in delight,

00:14:21.220 --> 00:14:24.940
 they hid from him in fearful despair.

00:14:24.940 --> 00:14:35.360
 God had made the garden as a kind of temple, a holy place in his creation.

00:14:35.580 --> 00:14:41.980
 He puts the man there and he creates the woman to complement the man and to be there together

00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:47.520
 in order that they might enjoy him and he might take pleasure in them.

00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:52.439
 But the presence of God no longer delighted them.

00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.639
 It only terrifies them.

00:14:57.079 --> 00:14:58.720
 And they attempted to hide.

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.819
 They go deeper into the garden.

00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:04.079
 They attempt to hide from God.

00:15:04.199 --> 00:15:07.799
 It's the first sign that death was beginning to reign.

00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.959
 God has not yet confronted their sin.

00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.299
 In fact, no one has confronted their sin.

00:15:15.419 --> 00:15:19.240
 Yet their sense of guilt is clearly evident to them.

00:15:20.019 --> 00:15:27.179
 Something significant had changed in their nature so that God's presence now brought dread.

00:15:27.899 --> 00:15:29.799
 And no one had to tell them that.

00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:38.799
 It was death's immediate reign over them and it deluded them into thinking that they could run and hide.

00:15:40.379 --> 00:15:46.019
 And what foolishness it is for us to think that we can actually hide from God.

00:15:48.019 --> 00:15:51.919
 It says Jeremiah 23, 24, the words of the Lord.

00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:57.679
 Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him, declares the Lord.

00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:03.919
 Do I not feel heaven and earth, declares the Lord?

00:16:04.219 --> 00:16:06.799
 You cannot hide from him.

00:16:08.779 --> 00:16:13.919
 Hebrews 4, 13, no creature is hidden from his sight,

00:16:14.319 --> 00:16:22.719
 but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:27.940
 Adam and Eve are experiencing that for the first time.

00:16:28.040 --> 00:16:34.180
 And yet, in the pervasive power of sin, they've already deceived themselves,

00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:40.899
 deluded themselves into thinking that they can just hide in the garden and maybe God won't find them.

00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:48.960
 But you know, the astonishing thing about these verses is not Adam's hiding.

00:16:49.860 --> 00:16:50.540
 That's foolish.

00:16:50.539 --> 00:16:54.860
 But it's not the most astonishing thing here.

00:16:56.199 --> 00:17:01.039
 The most astonishing thing here is God's seeking.

00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:03.919
 Do you see that in verse 9?

00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:07.000
 The Lord God calls to the man.

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:09.920
 Where are you?

00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:18.099
 He doesn't come into the garden, guns a-blazin', so to speak.

00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:19.359
 Isn't that interesting?

00:17:20.539 --> 00:17:32.200
 He didn't approach Adam primarily as a judge and an executioner ready to hand down the sentence and condemn him.

00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:34.319
 No, he approaches the garden.

00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:40.619
 He approaches Adam first as a loving father seeking out his beloved son.

00:17:40.619 --> 00:17:45.719
 And he does not drive Adam out of hiding.

00:17:45.939 --> 00:17:49.699
 He draws Adam out of hiding.

00:17:50.019 --> 00:17:56.099
 He's inviting the man to approach him in spite of his fallen condition.

00:17:56.679 --> 00:17:58.659
 And he does it with a simple question.

00:17:58.660 --> 00:18:01.540
 Where are you, Adam?

00:18:04.320 --> 00:18:09.440
 Of course, we understand God is not looking for information.

00:18:09.700 --> 00:18:11.759
 The question is rhetorical.

00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:14.000
 He knew exactly where Adam was.

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:27.380
 He was calling Adam out into the open so that he might confront Adam and lead Adam to mercy.

00:18:27.380 --> 00:18:31.600
 And so he does with each and every one of us.

00:18:33.080 --> 00:18:37.280
 God calls us out of our hiding through the power of his word.

00:18:37.280 --> 00:18:40.000
 Not seeking to destroy us.

00:18:40.420 --> 00:18:43.280
 Seeking rather to save us.

00:18:44.100 --> 00:18:45.800
 To fix what is broken.

00:18:46.100 --> 00:18:49.320
 To offer to us divine mercy.

00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:50.039
 Mercy.

00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:57.779
 Is God calling you out of your hiding this morning?

00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:14.559
 Just like Adam and Eve, you have deceived yourself into thinking that I can get away from this sense of guilt and shame that I feel before God.

00:19:14.619 --> 00:19:17.939
 And maybe you're running in the sense that you're just trying to ignore it.

00:19:17.940 --> 00:19:21.940
 Maybe you're running in the sense that you're just trying to deny that it even matters.

00:19:22.059 --> 00:19:29.299
 Or that there's a God who would take so much interest in your life as to want to confront your sin and to control you in any kind of way.

00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:31.820
 Maybe it's self-justifying.

00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:35.259
 You're just trying to ignore the fact that you really are guilty.

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:36.660
 Blame it on something else.

00:19:36.779 --> 00:19:38.320
 We see all of that happening here.

00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:47.960
 But at the end of the day, you still have this real sense of personal guilt and shame.

00:19:48.059 --> 00:19:50.839
 And you're doing everything that you can to hide.

00:19:52.339 --> 00:20:02.500
 The last thing you want is for God to confront your sin because you think that the only possible outcome of that experience will be your ruin.

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:09.019
 And yet God is drawing you out of your hiding.

00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:12.039
 Not to humiliate you.

00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:16.420
 But so that you might receive his mercy.

00:20:18.180 --> 00:20:19.440
 Adam is hiding.

00:20:21.180 --> 00:20:22.440
 God is finding.

00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:23.859
 He's seeking.

00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:25.460
 He's drawing.

00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:27.099
 He's calling.

00:20:27.099 --> 00:20:30.240
 Do you know he's doing that for you?

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:32.799
 And he's doing that in you.

00:20:35.219 --> 00:20:39.019
 I want you to also notice that Adam is not only hiding from God.

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:41.139
 He's also concealing the truth.

00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:43.559
 He's concealing the truth.

00:20:44.639 --> 00:20:45.519
 Look at verse 10.

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.559
 And he said, this is Adam speaking back to God.

00:20:50.679 --> 00:20:54.339
 He said, I heard the sound of you in the garden and I was afraid.

00:20:54.339 --> 00:20:57.240
 Because I was naked.

00:20:58.379 --> 00:20:59.619
 And I hid myself.

00:21:01.500 --> 00:21:06.139
 Adam's initial response here reveals the essence of God's first question.

00:21:06.220 --> 00:21:12.379
 It helps us to understand better what God was actually asking when he says, where are you?

00:21:13.740 --> 00:21:23.539
 Adam understood that God wasn't attempting to locate him, but to draw him out in order that he might answer for himself.

00:21:23.539 --> 00:21:27.879
 That he would give an explanation of why he was hiding.

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:40.180
 And we can just envision this shameful picture of Adam wandering out from among the trees.

00:21:40.180 --> 00:21:43.920
 His wife just behind him.

00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:55.000
 Both of them clad in the pitiful dressing of fig leaves hastily sewn together in panic after they had eaten the forbidden fruit.

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:57.380
 It's a grievous scene, isn't it?

00:21:59.320 --> 00:22:00.940
 A pitiful scene.

00:22:00.940 --> 00:22:06.279
 And yet God's intent is not to humiliate them.

00:22:06.360 --> 00:22:08.640
 That's not what he's trying to do.

00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:16.700
 He knows that apart from confronting the ugliness of what they've done, there can be no chance of reconciliation.

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:21.900
 There can be no chance of restoration unless Adam comes out of the hiding.

00:22:21.900 --> 00:22:27.320
 Unless Adam confesses and seeks mercy.

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:32.660
 This is Adam's opportunity to come clean.

00:22:34.080 --> 00:22:35.240
 He doesn't take it.

00:22:37.040 --> 00:22:40.759
 Notice he makes no mention at all of his sin.

00:22:41.740 --> 00:22:45.420
 He only addresses the shame that he feels.

00:22:45.500 --> 00:22:46.960
 Isn't that like us?

00:22:46.960 --> 00:23:01.880
 To in a moment of being caught in wrongdoing, to only respond in relationship to the feeling that we have of being caught rather than addressing the reality of sin that is at work in us.

00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:18.820
 The power of sin then is so pervasive that already the man is resorting to dishonesty and half-truths in hopes that he might somehow get out of this predicament.

00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:23.380
 Isn't that amazing how fast they fall?

00:23:23.380 --> 00:23:33.840
 What began as just eating a piece of fruit has now become running from God and now lying to God.

00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:39.860
 But while Adam is concealing, what is God doing?

00:23:41.620 --> 00:23:43.400
 God's exposing the truth.

00:23:46.900 --> 00:23:50.980
 It's at this point that those of us who are parents understand what we typically do, right?

00:23:50.980 --> 00:23:57.200
 We understand our kids have done something stupid, something that they're not supposed to do, that you've told them not to do.

00:23:57.299 --> 00:24:04.860
 And you go and, Ashlyn, what's going on?

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:07.420
 Giving them a chance.

00:24:09.579 --> 00:24:11.740
 They give some kind of pitiful excuse.

00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:16.960
 Failing to recognize the reality of what they've done that you've already figured out.

00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:18.319
 And what is it that we do in that moment?

00:24:20.980 --> 00:24:27.099
 That's typically when the line has been crossed and we drop the hammer, right?

00:24:31.180 --> 00:24:34.640
 What do you mean you're just feeling a little bad?

00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:36.440
 No, let me tell you what you did.

00:24:36.660 --> 00:24:38.579
 This is exactly what you did and it's a problem.

00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:40.120
 God does not do that.

00:24:40.900 --> 00:24:41.759
 Isn't it amazing?

00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:44.120
 Look at verse 11.

00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:50.519
 God says, who told you you were naked?

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.619
 Have you eaten of the tree that I commanded you not to eat?

00:24:57.059 --> 00:24:58.059
 Do you see what God's doing?

00:24:58.739 --> 00:24:59.500
 He's teaching.

00:25:00.339 --> 00:25:01.319
 This is didactic.

00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:12.919
 He asked two penetrating questions, allowing Adam once again this opportunity to come clean as a loving father.

00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:18.339
 God drew the man toward the path of true confession and repentance here.

00:25:19.019 --> 00:25:21.399
 And again, the questions are rhetorical.

00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:23.839
 God's not looking for information.

00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:34.419
 The first question, who told you you are naked, shows that no one had to convince Adam of his guilt.

00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:39.459
 No one had to manipulate Adam into feeling shame.

00:25:40.639 --> 00:25:41.799
 No one did that here.

00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:53.419
 That's a real sense of natural guilt and shame that Adam now experiences because death is reigning in him.

00:25:53.659 --> 00:26:01.599
 Says Kenneth Matthews, this was not the consequence of a false guilt imposed by parent or social convention.

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:06.500
 It was true guilt arising from a violated conscience.

00:26:06.500 --> 00:26:13.579
 And it's being exposed by God in the question, who told you you were naked?

00:26:13.940 --> 00:26:15.019
 Adam, think about it.

00:26:15.099 --> 00:26:16.500
 Why do you feel shame?

00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:19.700
 And then he asked a second question.

00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:22.420
 The point of the second question is the answer the first.

00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:25.279
 What is it that he asked?

00:26:28.059 --> 00:26:30.740
 Did you eat of the tree that I commanded you not to eat of?

00:26:32.019 --> 00:26:35.700
 Do you notice God doesn't refer to the tree in its proper name here.

00:26:35.700 --> 00:26:37.700
 Remember the name he had given it?

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:40.420
 It was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:42.980
 He doesn't call it the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

00:26:43.059 --> 00:26:43.759
 What does he call it?

00:26:44.120 --> 00:26:47.140
 The tree that I commanded you not to eat of.

00:26:47.840 --> 00:26:48.660
 Do you see what he's doing?

00:26:50.039 --> 00:27:02.160
 He's linking deliberate disobedience to his command to the feeling of guilt and shame that Adam now experiences in this nakedness.

00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:09.759
 He's exposing for Adam the real issue in order that he might draw the truth out of Adam,

00:27:09.820 --> 00:27:15.279
 in order that he might lead Adam to true confession and repentance.

00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:27.519
 Death's reign is expressed here in Adam's attempt to conceal the truth rather than to confess his sin.

00:27:28.579 --> 00:27:30.960
 It says Proverbs 28, 13,

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:55.299
 Part of the mercy of God is that he's trying to lead Adam down that road of proper confession in order that he might receive mercy.

00:27:55.299 --> 00:28:01.079
 So we see Adam is hiding from God.

00:28:01.159 --> 00:28:03.159
 We see Adam is concealing the truth.

00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:05.240
 And then we get to the third section.

00:28:06.659 --> 00:28:09.299
 Adam is shifting the blame.

00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:11.740
 Shifting the blame.

00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:13.119
 Look at verses 12 and 13.

00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:15.679
 The man said,

00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.839
 The woman whom you gave to be with me,

00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:22.679
 she gave me the fruit of the tree,

00:28:23.379 --> 00:28:23.799
 and I ate.

00:28:23.879 --> 00:28:25.699
 She is emphatic here in the text.

00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:26.339
 It's emphatic.

00:28:26.579 --> 00:28:29.319
 He's emphasizing the pronoun.

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:31.559
 She gave it to me,

00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:33.500
 and I ate.

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:37.779
 Then the Lord God said to the woman,

00:28:38.660 --> 00:28:40.859
 What is this that you have done?

00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:43.200
 How could you have done this?

00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:46.240
 And the woman said,

00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:49.200
 The serpent deceived me,

00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:51.519
 and I ate.

00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:55.279
 In the hardness of their hearts,

00:28:55.940 --> 00:29:00.319
 they sought to self-justify rather than to repent.

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.659
 And just follow the progression of the narrative here.

00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:07.679
 Adam senses his guilt and shame.

00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:08.759
 Of course, Eve does as well.

00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:11.659
 But Adam is the only one who's emphasized until verse 13.

00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:19.319
 God's questions up to this point have been given with a singular pronoun, you.

00:29:19.460 --> 00:29:21.519
 He is addressing Adam specifically.

00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:24.899
 Adam runs and hides,

00:29:25.439 --> 00:29:29.740
 thinking that he might be able to get away from God's judgment.

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:32.159
 But God finds him.

00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:32.919
 He seeks him,

00:29:32.939 --> 00:29:33.960
 and he draws him out.

00:29:34.059 --> 00:29:34.839
 That doesn't work.

00:29:34.919 --> 00:29:37.039
 So what does Adam then resort to?

00:29:37.139 --> 00:29:39.559
 Well, he attempts to conceal the truth.

00:29:41.099 --> 00:29:44.759
 Well, it's really just about this feeling of shame that I have.

00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:49.019
 He just kind of ignores and stays silent on the reality of his sin

00:29:49.019 --> 00:29:51.339
 that brought about the shame and guilt.

00:29:51.619 --> 00:29:53.159
 And what does God do in response?

00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:54.639
 Well, he exposes it.

00:29:55.339 --> 00:29:58.659
 He makes Adam look foolish as he should have.

00:29:58.660 --> 00:30:02.800
 Adam thinks he has one resort left.

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:06.259
 And that resort,

00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:10.500
 the only way he might possibly get out of this predicament now

00:30:10.500 --> 00:30:15.500
 is if he can somehow shift the responsibility of what he's done to someone else.

00:30:16.320 --> 00:30:21.880
 If he can make himself look like a victim rather than a perpetrator,

00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:25.620
 maybe he can get out of it.

00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:29.820
 And of course, he puts the blame on Eve, his wife.

00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.500
 What a change from the joyful embrace that he demonstrated

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:39.440
 when God brought her to him in chapter 2.

00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:44.400
 Death is raining in their marriage now.

00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:49.400
 Just moments after sin,

00:30:50.140 --> 00:30:51.900
 death is raining in their marriage.

00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:53.779
 It's destroying their marriage.

00:30:54.940 --> 00:30:58.920
 The one whom he rejoiced in and delighted in,

00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:00.820
 just a few verses before saying,

00:31:00.819 --> 00:31:04.480
 this is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh.

00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:07.299
 And he embraces her and he clings to her.

00:31:07.859 --> 00:31:09.879
 And they become one flesh together.

00:31:10.019 --> 00:31:12.039
 It's an amazingly beautiful picture.

00:31:12.139 --> 00:31:13.299
 It's all destroyed now.

00:31:14.619 --> 00:31:17.159
 He says bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh.

00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:18.839
 Now he says she's a problem.

00:31:20.779 --> 00:31:22.259
 This is her fault.

00:31:24.339 --> 00:31:25.579
 She's responsible.

00:31:25.579 --> 00:31:32.559
 But he does something even more egregious than that here.

00:31:34.879 --> 00:31:36.799
 Follow the structure of the phrase.

00:31:39.199 --> 00:31:41.599
 The woman that you gave to be with me,

00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:46.220
 she gave me the fruit and I ate.

00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:47.500
 Do you see what Adam's doing?

00:31:49.579 --> 00:31:53.960
 He's not only putting the responsibility on his wife,

00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:56.000
 ultimately he's putting the responsibility

00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:59.400
 and culpability of his sin on God.

00:32:03.059 --> 00:32:05.700
 She gave me the fruit, but you gave her to me.

00:32:05.819 --> 00:32:07.259
 This is your fault, God.

00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:10.000
 If you just hadn't given me this woman,

00:32:10.180 --> 00:32:11.380
 this would have never happened.

00:32:13.140 --> 00:32:14.500
 This is on you.

00:32:16.380 --> 00:32:17.819
 In his hardened heart,

00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:21.840
 Adam says that God is ultimately responsible for his sin.

00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:24.899
 And is this not what we so often do,

00:32:25.179 --> 00:32:27.299
 even when we reflect on this passage?

00:32:28.699 --> 00:32:31.459
 How many times have you come to Genesis 2 and 3,

00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:36.079
 and the primary question in your mind is not,

00:32:36.379 --> 00:32:37.579
 how could Adam do this?

00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:40.319
 The primary question in your mind is something like this.

00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:42.720
 Why on earth would God put that tree in the garden?

00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:45.539
 Do you know what we're doing?

00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:48.420
 We're saying, you know what?

00:32:48.460 --> 00:32:49.619
 This is really God's fault.

00:32:52.159 --> 00:32:54.379
 This whole ordeal, this whole fall,

00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:56.180
 this whole thing that corrupted us

00:32:56.180 --> 00:32:58.240
 and caused the whole human race

00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:00.379
 to descend into corruption and guilt,

00:33:00.619 --> 00:33:01.759
 this is on God.

00:33:01.819 --> 00:33:03.839
 He should have never put the tree there to begin with.

00:33:04.299 --> 00:33:05.619
 We do the same thing.

00:33:08.399 --> 00:33:10.200
 God draws us out from hiding.

00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:11.759
 He exposes our sin.

00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:13.559
 And we feel like we have no other resort

00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:15.160
 but to accuse him.

00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:17.180
 You know, Lord, this wouldn't have happened

00:33:17.180 --> 00:33:19.099
 if you'd just given me better parents.

00:33:21.059 --> 00:33:22.559
 This wouldn't have happened, Lord,

00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:27.259
 if you would have just helped me get that job

00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:28.299
 and I would have had more money

00:33:28.299 --> 00:33:29.299
 or I would have had more success.

00:33:29.420 --> 00:33:30.920
 This would have been all so different, Lord,

00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:33.220
 if you would have just been different to me.

00:33:33.859 --> 00:33:35.480
 And we shift the blame.

00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:36.859
 We shift the responsibility.

00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:39.599
 And we try to put it not simply on others,

00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:41.539
 but ultimately we put it on God.

00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:46.420
 And then for the first time

00:33:46.420 --> 00:33:48.200
 in this entire narrative,

00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:51.099
 God addresses the woman.

00:33:54.259 --> 00:33:55.720
 How could you have done this?

00:33:56.619 --> 00:33:57.240
 He asked her.

00:33:59.460 --> 00:34:00.759
 It's the right question.

00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:07.240
 He had given her to be man's helper in blessing.

00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:11.860
 And she has now taken that authority,

00:34:12.019 --> 00:34:15.619
 that authorization to help the man in blessing

00:34:15.619 --> 00:34:19.260
 and she has used it to help him in his crime.

00:34:23.059 --> 00:34:24.940
 And of course, she follows suit with Adam.

00:34:25.900 --> 00:34:27.420
 She shifts the blame.

00:34:27.579 --> 00:34:30.139
 Well, really, this is the serpent's fault.

00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:31.659
 He deceived me.

00:34:31.860 --> 00:34:33.679
 Now, she stopped short of doing what Adam did.

00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:34.799
 She doesn't put it on God.

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:39.059
 But she does present herself as something of a victim here,

00:34:39.179 --> 00:34:43.099
 ignoring the reality of her own responsibility in the sin.

00:34:44.739 --> 00:34:47.279
 And is this not exactly what we tend to do?

00:34:49.179 --> 00:34:52.179
 God's purpose is to lead us to repentance.

00:34:52.179 --> 00:34:55.279
 But in the hardness of our hearts,

00:34:55.339 --> 00:34:57.819
 we look for someone or something else to blame.

00:34:59.619 --> 00:35:01.279
 How very rare is it

00:35:01.279 --> 00:35:04.739
 for us to truly acknowledge our guilt

00:35:04.739 --> 00:35:06.179
 and confess our sin

00:35:06.179 --> 00:35:09.179
 and take responsibility for our disobedience?

00:35:09.179 --> 00:35:10.099
 Disobedience.

00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:13.779
 And it takes all kinds of shapes and forms in our lives, doesn't it?

00:35:14.019 --> 00:35:15.059
 Many times it's subtle.

00:35:15.359 --> 00:35:16.919
 We don't recognize we're even doing it.

00:35:19.279 --> 00:35:21.359
 Father loses his temper with his kids.

00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:23.819
 He sins against them with his words.

00:35:26.059 --> 00:35:26.859
 He's angry.

00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:29.299
 He exasperates them.

00:35:31.259 --> 00:35:33.619
 And then he feels the guilt and the shame of what he's done

00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:35.579
 because God is calling him out of that hiding.

00:35:35.699 --> 00:35:37.199
 God is exposing what he's done.

00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:39.019
 And then he goes to his kids

00:35:39.019 --> 00:35:41.559
 and he attempts to smooth things over.

00:35:41.659 --> 00:35:43.079
 But he says something like this.

00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:45.559
 You know, if you had just listened

00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:47.879
 to what I had told you to do in the beginning,

00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:49.239
 I wouldn't have reacted that way.

00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:54.519
 I think the kids call that gaslighting.

00:35:57.299 --> 00:35:58.239
 Shifting the blame.

00:35:59.839 --> 00:36:02.299
 Okay, yeah, I spoke in anger,

00:36:02.419 --> 00:36:03.500
 but this is really on you

00:36:03.500 --> 00:36:05.779
 because you're the one that drove me to it.

00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.019
 You realize how subtly this happens.

00:36:12.839 --> 00:36:15.119
 A wife in anger at her husband

00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:19.939
 punishes him by going silent for days at a time.

00:36:22.460 --> 00:36:24.699
 And he tries to reconcile with his wife

00:36:24.699 --> 00:36:27.839
 rather than acknowledge that she has responded

00:36:27.839 --> 00:36:30.539
 in a way that's sinful and destructive.

00:36:31.579 --> 00:36:34.039
 She says, you just don't understand how you made me feel.

00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:36.139
 Well, this is really your fault.

00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:42.139
 We see this playing out around us in the news

00:36:42.139 --> 00:36:44.440
 so often these days, don't we?

00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:47.739
 People refusing to take responsibility

00:36:47.739 --> 00:36:51.539
 for their actions on account of their emotional distresses.

00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:54.699
 Well, I was just really down that day.

00:36:55.500 --> 00:36:56.759
 You can't hold this against me.

00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:00.740
 We see it in popular media.

00:37:04.180 --> 00:37:06.240
 The trend right now in movies

00:37:06.240 --> 00:37:09.100
 is to highlight the backstory of a villain

00:37:09.100 --> 00:37:13.540
 and to try to explain their future villainy

00:37:13.540 --> 00:37:17.460
 as being the result of some type of victimhood

00:37:17.460 --> 00:37:19.420
 that they experienced earlier in their lives.

00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:23.340
 Now, I'm not suggesting that those kind of experiences

00:37:23.340 --> 00:37:26.180
 don't actually play a role in the things that we do.

00:37:26.180 --> 00:37:27.019
 Of course they do,

00:37:27.099 --> 00:37:29.880
 but we are responsible for the things that we do

00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:32.000
 and the ways that we act and the way that we sin.

00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:36.300
 This is part of death's reign in us.

00:37:36.740 --> 00:37:38.740
 The pervasive power of sin

00:37:38.740 --> 00:37:41.800
 is such that whenever we're in the corner

00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:43.860
 and God has pulled us out of hiding

00:37:43.860 --> 00:37:45.099
 and we feel the guilt

00:37:45.099 --> 00:37:46.740
 and we sense the shame

00:37:46.740 --> 00:37:48.460
 and we've been exposed,

00:37:48.900 --> 00:37:51.340
 our resort is to say,

00:37:51.539 --> 00:37:53.460
 it's really not my fault.

00:37:55.260 --> 00:37:56.900
 We blame something else.

00:38:00.380 --> 00:38:02.840
 It says death reigned through the power of sin,

00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:06.440
 but hope is not lost here.

00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:13.400
 While we sinfully seek to shift our blame to others,

00:38:13.860 --> 00:38:18.180
 there is one who never did it.

00:38:19.180 --> 00:38:20.360
 In fact, he did the opposite.

00:38:22.099 --> 00:38:25.140
 We sinfully seek to shift the blame

00:38:25.140 --> 00:38:26.000
 and to put it on others.

00:38:26.160 --> 00:38:31.760
 Jesus joyfully, willingly sought to receive the blame

00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:34.280
 for our sake.

00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:39.120
 He, the guiltless one,

00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:41.180
 the sinless one,

00:38:41.179 --> 00:38:44.159
 became sin for us

00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:46.079
 so that we might then in turn

00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:47.940
 be counted as righteous

00:38:47.940 --> 00:38:52.259
 on account of him receiving our blame.

00:38:53.619 --> 00:38:55.599
 2 Corinthians 5, 21,

00:38:55.779 --> 00:38:57.159
 for our sake,

00:38:57.500 --> 00:38:59.219
 he made him to be sin

00:38:59.219 --> 00:39:01.279
 who knew no sin

00:39:01.279 --> 00:39:03.699
 so that in him

00:39:03.699 --> 00:39:06.739
 we might become the righteousness of God.

00:39:06.739 --> 00:39:10.019
 Again, in Colossians,

00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:12.739
 this great statement by Paul,

00:39:12.919 --> 00:39:16.039
 you were dead in your trespasses.

00:39:16.179 --> 00:39:17.659
 You had that living death.

00:39:17.779 --> 00:39:19.299
 You're dead in your trespasses

00:39:19.299 --> 00:39:21.019
 and the uncircumcision of your flesh.

00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:24.399
 God made you alive together with him.

00:39:25.059 --> 00:39:26.479
 How did he do it?

00:39:27.379 --> 00:39:28.919
 Well, he's forgiven your trespasses.

00:39:28.979 --> 00:39:30.699
 Well, why has he forgiven my trespasses?

00:39:30.699 --> 00:39:33.480
 Paul says he's canceled the record of debt

00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:34.460
 that stood against you

00:39:34.460 --> 00:39:35.839
 with all of its legal demands,

00:39:36.399 --> 00:39:38.119
 nailing it to his cross.

00:39:40.879 --> 00:39:43.339
 The sinless one, the blameless one,

00:39:43.799 --> 00:39:44.939
 takes our blame

00:39:44.939 --> 00:39:48.099
 so that by faith we might receive

00:39:48.099 --> 00:39:49.399
 his righteousness.

00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:53.899
 The guilty ones declared not guilty.

00:39:53.900 --> 00:39:59.880
 The good news in all of this

00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:01.360
 is that Jesus has taken

00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:03.420
 all of our guilt and shame,

00:40:03.720 --> 00:40:05.019
 every piece of it.

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:11.539
 He didn't simply wear our sins

00:40:11.539 --> 00:40:12.940
 as a symbol,

00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:14.200
 like putting on a shirt

00:40:14.200 --> 00:40:17.059
 that just had all of our sins listed on it.

00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:19.720
 That's not how he bore our sins.

00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:23.280
 No, he became sin for us

00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:26.380
 such that he felt the real misery

00:40:26.380 --> 00:40:27.800
 that Adam felt.

00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:29.600
 He felt the real guilt

00:40:29.600 --> 00:40:30.700
 as if it was his own.

00:40:30.780 --> 00:40:31.840
 He felt the terror

00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:33.780
 as if it was his own.

00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:36.480
 And in return,

00:40:37.260 --> 00:40:39.160
 all who trust him by faith

00:40:39.160 --> 00:40:41.820
 receive his righteousness.

00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:45.300
 Again, not as a mere symbol,

00:40:45.300 --> 00:40:46.280
 like wearing a shirt

00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:47.019
 that just says,

00:40:47.140 --> 00:40:49.180
 Christ is righteous for my sake.

00:40:49.179 --> 00:40:51.259
 No, in union with him,

00:40:51.539 --> 00:40:55.019
 we are righteous in him.

00:40:55.359 --> 00:40:55.859
 Truly.

00:40:59.940 --> 00:41:01.419
 Adam and Eve think

00:41:01.419 --> 00:41:04.139
 blame shifting is their last

00:41:04.139 --> 00:41:05.079
 and only resort.

00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:06.440
 But in reality,

00:41:06.919 --> 00:41:08.079
 that just wasn't true.

00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:10.599
 In reality,

00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:12.000
 there was another option.

00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:14.299
 They were just too blind

00:41:14.300 --> 00:41:15.660
 and hardened in their sin

00:41:15.660 --> 00:41:16.460
 to see it.

00:41:19.340 --> 00:41:20.440
 God's patience

00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:21.600
 in this confrontation

00:41:21.600 --> 00:41:22.500
 was meant

00:41:22.500 --> 00:41:24.460
 to lead them to repentance.

00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:26.039
 The better option

00:41:26.039 --> 00:41:26.539
 would have been

00:41:26.539 --> 00:41:28.820
 to fall before the Lord.

00:41:29.700 --> 00:41:30.200
 God,

00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:32.080
 we did what you said

00:41:32.080 --> 00:41:32.960
 not to do.

00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:33.140
 God,

00:41:33.140 --> 00:41:33.900
 we did what you said

00:41:37.240 --> 00:41:39.120
 Is there mercy for us?

00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:42.460
 Will you forgive us?

00:41:42.460 --> 00:41:43.740
 That option was always

00:41:43.740 --> 00:41:44.320
 on the table.

00:41:45.900 --> 00:41:47.179
 They just didn't see it.

00:41:48.019 --> 00:41:48.760
 How many of us,

00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:49.900
 we understand what this is like

00:41:49.900 --> 00:41:51.039
 before we come to Christ.

00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:52.280
 That option's always

00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:52.800
 on the table.

00:41:52.900 --> 00:41:53.659
 We're just too hardened

00:41:53.659 --> 00:41:54.260
 to see it.

00:41:54.460 --> 00:41:55.260
 We think the option

00:41:55.260 --> 00:41:55.980
 is to shift

00:41:55.980 --> 00:41:56.579
 or to hide

00:41:56.579 --> 00:41:57.199
 or to conceal.

00:41:58.480 --> 00:41:58.679
 No,

00:41:58.720 --> 00:41:59.840
 the only real option,

00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:01.860
 the only fruitful option

00:42:01.860 --> 00:42:03.740
 is to confess.

00:42:05.159 --> 00:42:06.320
 And with great humility,

00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:07.400
 fall before the Lord.

00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:08.699
 And every person

00:42:08.699 --> 00:42:09.240
 who does that,

00:42:09.300 --> 00:42:09.960
 you know what they receive?

00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:11.139
 100% of the time,

00:42:11.579 --> 00:42:12.000
 mercy.

00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:15.639
 100% of the time,

00:42:16.579 --> 00:42:16.920
 mercy.

00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:20.460
 Because that's what God

00:42:20.460 --> 00:42:21.000
 wanted to do

00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:21.599
 to begin with.

00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:25.460
 Eichmann is in all of us

00:42:25.460 --> 00:42:26.699
 because we're all in Adam.

00:42:28.380 --> 00:42:30.000
 And our only hope

00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:32.820
 is that in his gracious kindness,

00:42:33.619 --> 00:42:36.599
 God will break sin's reign

00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:37.579
 in our lives,

00:42:37.720 --> 00:42:38.059
 seeking,

00:42:39.139 --> 00:42:40.639
 drawing us unto himself.

00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:43.739
 And that's precisely

00:42:43.739 --> 00:42:45.639
 what he has done

00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:46.339
 in the person

00:42:46.339 --> 00:42:46.879
 and the work

00:42:46.879 --> 00:42:47.859
 of Jesus Christ.

00:42:49.900 --> 00:42:51.379
 Jesus indeed

00:42:51.379 --> 00:42:53.879
 breaks the power

00:42:53.879 --> 00:42:54.739
 of sin

00:42:54.739 --> 00:42:55.679
 in all

00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:56.599
 who will acknowledge

00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:57.099
 their guilt

00:42:57.099 --> 00:42:58.339
 and confess their sin

00:42:58.339 --> 00:43:00.139
 and trust in him alone.

00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:02.299
 He breaks it.

00:43:02.300 --> 00:43:07.320
 those who are in Christ

00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:08.760
 are no longer

00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:09.300
 enslaved

00:43:10.260 --> 00:43:11.480
 to the power

00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:12.100
 of sin.

00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:12.660
 Death

00:43:12.660 --> 00:43:14.100
 no longer

00:43:14.100 --> 00:43:14.300
 reigns

00:43:15.019 --> 00:43:16.280
 in them.

00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:18.060
 Rather,

00:43:18.240 --> 00:43:19.280
 they have received

00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:20.620
 newness of life

00:43:20.620 --> 00:43:21.820
 in the power

00:43:21.820 --> 00:43:22.740
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:43:22.980 --> 00:43:24.420
 That same spirit

00:43:24.420 --> 00:43:25.760
 that raised Jesus

00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:26.600
 from the dead

00:43:26.600 --> 00:43:27.980
 now reigns

00:43:27.980 --> 00:43:28.300
 in us.

00:43:28.300 --> 00:43:28.780
 us.

00:43:30.780 --> 00:43:31.820
 And not only

00:43:31.820 --> 00:43:32.580
 does the Father

00:43:32.580 --> 00:43:33.400
 declare us

00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:33.920
 righteous

00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:34.800
 for the sake

00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:35.500
 of the Son,

00:43:35.700 --> 00:43:36.640
 but the Spirit

00:43:36.640 --> 00:43:37.880
 indwells us.

00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:39.180
 He breaks the power

00:43:39.180 --> 00:43:39.560
 of sin

00:43:39.560 --> 00:43:40.120
 in our lives

00:43:40.120 --> 00:43:41.600
 so that we might

00:43:41.600 --> 00:43:42.440
 now walk

00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:43.380
 in that newness

00:43:43.380 --> 00:43:43.920
 of life.

00:43:44.080 --> 00:43:45.019
 We might now

00:43:45.019 --> 00:43:46.340
 live with life

00:43:46.340 --> 00:43:47.720
 reigning over us

00:43:47.720 --> 00:43:48.800
 rather than death

00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:50.180
 reigning over us.

00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:51.060
 How do we know?

00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:52.039
 It's the Bible

00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:52.840
 tells us.

00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:54.420
 Romans 6.

00:43:54.420 --> 00:43:57.240
 Don't let sin

00:43:57.240 --> 00:43:57.800
 reign in your

00:43:57.800 --> 00:43:58.460
 mortal body

00:43:58.460 --> 00:43:59.039
 any longer

00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:00.740
 to make you

00:44:00.740 --> 00:44:01.720
 obey its passions.

00:44:03.180 --> 00:44:04.119
 Don't present

00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:04.720
 your members

00:44:04.720 --> 00:44:05.360
 to sin

00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:06.099
 as instruments

00:44:06.099 --> 00:44:07.119
 of unrighteousness

00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:07.760
 but present

00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:08.940
 yourselves to God

00:44:08.940 --> 00:44:10.099
 as those

00:44:10.099 --> 00:44:10.840
 who have been

00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:11.480
 brought from

00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:12.059
 death

00:44:12.059 --> 00:44:13.599
 to life

00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:16.019
 and your members

00:44:16.019 --> 00:44:16.599
 to God

00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:17.400
 as instruments

00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:18.340
 for righteousness

00:44:18.340 --> 00:44:19.659
 now.

00:44:19.659 --> 00:44:22.039
 for sin

00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:23.259
 will no longer

00:44:23.259 --> 00:44:24.079
 have dominion

00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:24.719
 over you.

00:44:26.679 --> 00:44:27.940
 What a glorious

00:44:27.940 --> 00:44:29.440
 truth that is.

00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:29.839
 Do you

00:44:29.839 --> 00:44:31.159
 understand the

00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:32.099
 reality of what

00:44:32.099 --> 00:44:33.000
 that means?

00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:35.579
 Death no longer

00:44:35.579 --> 00:44:36.399
 reigns over you

00:44:36.399 --> 00:44:37.299
 if you're in Christ

00:44:37.299 --> 00:44:39.739
 which means

00:44:39.739 --> 00:44:40.500
 that if you are

00:44:40.500 --> 00:44:41.559
 living in sin

00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:44.179
 it's just because

00:44:44.179 --> 00:44:45.000
 you want to.

00:44:49.659 --> 00:44:51.259
 And yet Christ

00:44:51.259 --> 00:44:52.659
 through the work

00:44:52.659 --> 00:44:53.199
 of the Spirit

00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:55.279
 has given you

00:44:55.279 --> 00:44:56.539
 life and power

00:44:56.539 --> 00:44:58.319
 to yield your

00:44:58.319 --> 00:44:59.339
 members no longer

00:44:59.339 --> 00:45:00.519
 for unrighteousness

00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:02.460
 but for righteousness.

00:45:04.739 --> 00:45:05.219
 You know the great

00:45:05.219 --> 00:45:05.940
 problem in that

00:45:05.940 --> 00:45:06.819
 for us as Christians

00:45:06.819 --> 00:45:08.000
 is that though

00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:09.659
 Christ has broken

00:45:09.659 --> 00:45:10.719
 the power of sin

00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:11.119
 in us

00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:12.279
 until he returns

00:45:12.279 --> 00:45:13.879
 and we receive

00:45:13.879 --> 00:45:15.239
 that glorified state

00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:16.559
 a part of that

00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:17.099
 old man

00:45:17.099 --> 00:45:17.859
 is still there.

00:45:17.860 --> 00:45:20.519
 part of that

00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:21.059
 old man

00:45:21.059 --> 00:45:21.660
 every day

00:45:21.660 --> 00:45:22.559
 this is why

00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:23.220
 we have a prayer

00:45:23.220 --> 00:45:23.720
 of confession

00:45:23.720 --> 00:45:24.440
 every Sunday.

00:45:25.820 --> 00:45:26.840
 We recognize

00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:28.420
 that for some

00:45:28.420 --> 00:45:28.880
 of us

00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:29.840
 the only

00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:30.660
 moment

00:45:30.660 --> 00:45:31.559
 that we might

00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:32.280
 even begin

00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:32.980
 to entertain

00:45:32.980 --> 00:45:33.680
 the idea

00:45:33.680 --> 00:45:34.280
 of our guilt

00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:34.900
 and our confession

00:45:34.900 --> 00:45:35.519
 before the Lord

00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:36.200
 is in that prayer.

00:45:37.420 --> 00:45:38.120
 And for as long

00:45:38.120 --> 00:45:38.940
 as we will worship

00:45:38.940 --> 00:45:39.320
 together

00:45:39.320 --> 00:45:39.960
 we will have

00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:40.340
 that prayer

00:45:40.340 --> 00:45:40.860
 of confession

00:45:40.860 --> 00:45:41.720
 if for no other

00:45:41.720 --> 00:45:42.019
 reason

00:45:42.019 --> 00:45:43.220
 just to remind

00:45:43.220 --> 00:45:43.680
 us

00:45:43.680 --> 00:45:44.620
 how much

00:45:44.620 --> 00:45:45.180
 we need

00:45:45.180 --> 00:45:45.800
 God's mercy

00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:46.320
 and forgiveness

00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:47.079
 in our lives.

00:45:47.860 --> 00:45:50.780
 that old man

00:45:50.780 --> 00:45:51.400
 is still there

00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:52.240
 and even beyond

00:45:52.240 --> 00:45:53.420
 our conversion

00:45:53.420 --> 00:45:54.800
 he's still

00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:55.760
 trying to hide

00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:57.079
 he's still

00:45:57.079 --> 00:45:58.220
 trying to conceal

00:45:58.220 --> 00:45:59.460
 he's still

00:45:59.460 --> 00:46:00.660
 trying to blame

00:46:00.660 --> 00:46:03.680
 and what we

00:46:03.680 --> 00:46:04.340
 need to remember

00:46:04.340 --> 00:46:05.400
 as Christ people

00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:07.519
 is that through

00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:07.900
 him

00:46:07.900 --> 00:46:09.700
 in Christ

00:46:09.700 --> 00:46:10.840
 get this

00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:12.960
 there's no

00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:14.000
 reason to hide

00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:16.800
 there's no

00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:17.440
 reason to hide

00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:23.380
 is that great

00:46:23.380 --> 00:46:24.079

00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:24.420
 song

00:46:24.420 --> 00:46:25.099
 it's so helpful

00:46:25.099 --> 00:46:26.519
 I hear Ashlyn

00:46:26.519 --> 00:46:27.400
 listening to it

00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:27.840
 on repeat

00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:28.420
 every once in a while

00:46:28.420 --> 00:46:29.059
 I'm so thankful

00:46:29.059 --> 00:46:29.700
 that she does

00:46:29.700 --> 00:46:35.840
 you don't have to

00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:36.679
 work so hard

00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:37.880
 you can rest

00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:38.300
 easy

00:46:38.300 --> 00:46:39.099
 he writes

00:46:39.099 --> 00:46:41.460
 you don't have to

00:46:41.460 --> 00:46:42.220
 prove yourself

00:46:42.220 --> 00:46:42.760
 you're already

00:46:42.760 --> 00:46:43.139
 mine

00:46:43.139 --> 00:46:45.199
 you don't have to

00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:46.119
 hide your heart

00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:47.960
 I already

00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:48.519
 love you

00:46:48.519 --> 00:46:51.500
 your sin

00:46:51.500 --> 00:46:52.099
 is forgiven

00:46:52.099 --> 00:46:52.819
 in Christ

00:46:52.819 --> 00:46:55.019
 your guilt

00:46:55.019 --> 00:46:57.420
 is gone

00:46:57.420 --> 00:46:57.879
 it was laid

00:46:57.879 --> 00:46:58.359
 on him

00:46:58.359 --> 00:46:59.500
 your shame

00:46:59.500 --> 00:46:59.960
 it's gone

00:46:59.960 --> 00:47:00.659
 it was laid

00:47:00.659 --> 00:47:01.139
 on him

00:47:01.139 --> 00:47:02.199
 there's no reason

00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:02.879
 for you to hide

00:47:02.879 --> 00:47:03.219
 anymore

00:47:03.219 --> 00:47:03.699
 if you're in

00:47:03.699 --> 00:47:04.119
 Christ

00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:07.359
 therefore the writer

00:47:07.359 --> 00:47:07.719
 of Hebrews

00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:08.119
 says

00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:09.380
 let us come

00:47:09.380 --> 00:47:10.259
 boldly

00:47:10.259 --> 00:47:11.880
 before the throne

00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:12.539
 of grace

00:47:12.539 --> 00:47:14.199
 in order that

00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:14.880
 we might find

00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:16.000
 help and mercy

00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:17.079
 in our time

00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:17.519
 of need

00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:19.940
 that's one of the

00:47:19.940 --> 00:47:20.519
 great things

00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:21.039
 that while the

00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:21.819
 old man is still

00:47:21.819 --> 00:47:22.380
 there trying to

00:47:22.380 --> 00:47:22.940
 get us to hide

00:47:22.940 --> 00:47:23.559
 and conceal

00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:25.000
 and shift the

00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:25.420
 blame

00:47:25.420 --> 00:47:27.119
 Christ is there

00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:27.779
 the spirit is

00:47:27.779 --> 00:47:28.279
 there to say

00:47:28.279 --> 00:47:29.139
 no you don't

00:47:29.139 --> 00:47:29.559
 have to do

00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:29.819
 that

00:47:29.819 --> 00:47:31.159
 you don't

00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:31.559
 have to do

00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:31.839
 that

00:47:31.839 --> 00:47:33.420
 just come out

00:47:33.420 --> 00:47:33.880
 in the open

00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:35.400
 and there

00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:36.000
 will be mercy

00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:36.559
 for you

00:47:36.559 --> 00:47:38.139
 because of

00:47:38.139 --> 00:47:38.559
 Christ

00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:40.820
 and so with

00:47:40.820 --> 00:47:41.360
 humility

00:47:41.360 --> 00:47:43.180
 we should

00:47:43.180 --> 00:47:43.740
 continue

00:47:43.740 --> 00:47:44.920
 to confess

00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:45.480
 our sins

00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:45.940
 to God

00:47:45.940 --> 00:47:46.340
 to cling

00:47:46.340 --> 00:47:47.139
 to his mercy

00:47:47.139 --> 00:47:48.139
 and it's

00:47:48.139 --> 00:47:48.960
 in this way

00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:50.860
 that we will

00:47:50.860 --> 00:47:51.500
 once again

00:47:51.500 --> 00:47:52.220
 experience

00:47:52.220 --> 00:47:53.079

00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:54.619
 and joy

00:47:54.619 --> 00:47:55.800
 of communion

00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:56.280
 with our

00:47:56.280 --> 00:47:57.119
 loving father

00:47:57.119 --> 00:47:59.280
 like Charlie

00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:00.460
 who just

00:48:00.460 --> 00:48:01.099
 wants to see

00:48:01.099 --> 00:48:01.840
 her dad

00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:04.079
 when we

00:48:04.079 --> 00:48:04.460
 come out

00:48:04.460 --> 00:48:05.100
 in the open

00:48:05.100 --> 00:48:06.960
 you just

00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:07.420
 want to see

00:48:07.420 --> 00:48:08.220
 my father

00:48:08.220 --> 00:48:09.840
 and I want

00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:10.360
 to be with

00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:10.700
 him

00:48:10.700 --> 00:48:12.960
 because in

00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:13.740
 him is all

00:48:13.740 --> 00:48:14.180
 the mercy

00:48:14.180 --> 00:48:14.559

00:48:14.559 --> 00:48:15.120
 ever need

00:48:15.120 --> 00:48:16.680

00:48:16.680 --> 00:48:17.160
 grace that

00:48:17.160 --> 00:48:17.519
 I'll ever

00:48:17.519 --> 00:48:17.900
 need

00:48:17.900 --> 00:48:19.660
 and that

00:48:19.660 --> 00:48:20.100
 can be

00:48:20.100 --> 00:48:20.600
 yours

00:48:20.600 --> 00:48:22.000
 if you

00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:22.460
 will just

00:48:22.460 --> 00:48:22.960
 come to

00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:23.300
 him

00:48:23.300 --> 00:48:24.900
 and confess

00:48:24.900 --> 00:48:25.720
 your sin

00:48:25.720 --> 00:48:27.500
 and trust

00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:30.539
 be yours

00:48:30.539 --> 00:48:30.940
 in him

00:48:30.940 --> 00:48:32.639
