THE FALL OF

MAN AND THE

SAVIOR

(Gen 3:16-19) To the woman He said: "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be

for your husband, And he shall rule over you." {17} Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten

from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of

your life. {18} Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field. {19} In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust

you shall return.”

THE FALL OF MAN & THE SAVIORA. There are some obvious connections between the

fall of man and the Savior of fallen manB. Genesis 3:14-15 So the LORD God said to the

serpent: "Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life. 15  And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel."

C. But there may be some connections you may not have thought about

I. THE PAIN CONNECTION

A.SIN BROUGHT PAIN TO MANKIND - (Gen 3:16ln pain you shall bring forth children;

B.SIN BROUGHT PAIN TO THE SAVIOR - (Isa 53:5) But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

II. THE SUBJECTION CONNECTION

A.SIN BROUGHT SUBJECTION TO WOMAN - (Gen 3:16) Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you."

B.SIN BROUGHT SUBJECTION OF JESUS - (Phil 2:8) And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

III. THE CURSE CONNECTIONA. SIN BROUGHT A CURSE TO THE GROUND -

(Gen 3:17) Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.

B. SIN RESULTED IN THE SAVIOR BECOMING A CURSE FOR US - (Gal 3:13) Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"),

IV. THE SORROW CONNECTIONA.SIN BROUGHT TOIL AND SORROW TO

MAN - (Gen 3:17) "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil (SORROW) you shall eat of it All the days of your life.

B.SIN BROUGHT SORROW TO THE SAVIOR - (Isa 53:3) He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

V. THE THORN CONNECTIONA.SIN BROUGHT THORNS INTO THE

WORLD - (Gen 3:18) Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field.

B.SIN RESULTED IN JESUS WEARING A CROWN OF THORNS - (Mat 27:29) When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!”

VI. THE SWEAT CONNECTIONA.SIN BROUGHT TOIL AND SWEAT TO MAN

- (Gen 3:19) In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return."

B.SIN RESULTED IN JESUS' SWEATING BLOOD - (Luke 22:44) And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

VII.THE DEATH CONNECTIONA.SIN BROUGHT THE DEATH OF MAN - (Gen

3:19) In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return."

B.SIN BROUGHT THE DEATH OF THE SAVIOR - (Heb 2:9) But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.

OUR SIN AND OUR SAVIORA. OUR SIN BROUGHT ALL OF THESE THINGS ON

JESUS - (Rom 5:12) Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned;

B. OUR SIN CAN LEAD TO THE SUFFERINGS OF JESUS ALL OVER AGAIN - (Heb 6:4-6) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, {5} and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, {6} if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
