An Education on EVE

Genesis 5:2 'Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.'

Formed from man, but created by God.

In the image of God, His replica on earth.

Not an after thought

Made off two equal parts, both becoming one

 Both given dominion

Above land, above sea, the most supreme of all creation.

And although only him was banished from the garden,

But like the support that she is,

She stuck by her man.

Despite his demotion,

She kept him in motion

Never letting him slip.

Yes, though she fell when tempted

But he fell too!

Sinned because of her ignorance,

For wisdom was all she sought.

Blamed by her protector,

Who beside her stood idle.

Sentenced to a life of sorrow,

Not knowing her tomorrow,

But except that her joys’ would be birthed through pain.

When all she craved was knowledge.

Her passion was for his heart,

For from his rib she was created.  

Not his feet to be trampled on,

Or his back to be ignored,

Or his head to be dominating.

But the bone that protects his heart.

Like the Holy Spirit is the closest to God heart.

She functions in the same capacity

From grace to grass was not what she expected,

But Eve the ’source of life’

She fulfilled her destiny

She birthed mankind

The original first lady.

Standing tall in the face of dys-functionality

 When what once brought her joy now birthed more pain.

Face to face with death, none like she had experienced before

One young son dead in one arm

While with the other waving goodbye to her banished heir.

Still her faith was not shaken!

The mother of faithfulness

For she remembered the words of her maker

‘That her son will crush her head of her enemy’

Holding on to nothing but faith, she birthed the son that would lead us to Christ.

The way, the truth and the life.
