Adam and Eve were the king and queen of paradise, God’s creation. Created into beauty and perfection, fashioned in the image of their creator, Adam and Eve believed the serpent’s lie and cast the creation into darkness. But God was not finished with his creation and promised a second Adam and king who would reopen the way to paradise. Along the way, God gave others who would provide snapshots of this second Adam, but who would ultimately fail after the manner of the first. This Advent we walk the path of the Biblical story to appreciate the victory of the true King of Paradise.
