Quest for God's Own Heart
The Old Testament
Through the Eyes of Michael the Archangel 

“'And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel’”

(Genesis 3:15)

           (Michael the Archangel retelling the story of the Fall)

 …“The fruit does look delicious, and I do want to be as wise as God” Eve whispered. I could see an evil smile form from the mouth of the snake. Eve slowly walked up to the tree, took some of the fruit, and ate it.

             “This fruit is delicious, Adam. Take a bite” she said, as she handed it to him.

 Adam stared at the fruit for a moment before taking a bite. Suddenly he dropped it and cried out “Eve, what have we done? God told us not to eat from this tree.”

 I turned and saw tears streaming down the face of God. He stood from His throne and looked at me. “I have to visit with them now, Michael. My children have fallen.”…
     

In our story we find Adam and Eve sinning for the first time. I know all of us want to say that it’s their fault that sin entered the world, but if we’re honest with ourselves, we would have to admit that we would’ve done the same thing. It’s not as if Satan came to them with horns and a pitchfork. He does not appear to us as a monster; he appears as an angel of light, but only darkness enters our hearts when we allow him in…

We have a friend in Jesus, who not only understands what we’re going through, but He lived His life perfectly, never falling to temptation. Jesus also promised that He will help us with our struggles. God doesn’t leave us alone. He helps us in our time of need…

God restored His relationship with Adam and Eve, and He will do the same for you and me. Jesus said that He stands at the door and knocks. Will you open the door and let Him in? He wants to restore the relationship you had with Him before you allowed sin to control your life. Let Him come in.
