| These words were addressed to Satan after Adam and Eve had sinned in eating of the forbidden fruit. Although I am sure that our first parents did not understand the import of this, it was on this basis that God could provide a sacrifice and coats of skin. This was because He was looking forward to the time when His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, would go to the cross and bruise the head of the serpent. Through this event, access back into the presence of God and entrance into heaven would be provided. “For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight” (Colossians 1:19-22). What a precious theme “His cross” is for our hearts today. |
