Dear brothers and sisters, beloved of Jesus Christ, Lord God has revealed in His Holy Word, that He never created death for men. One may say, “What is this non-sense? Death is very sure. What never made”? Yes, precious brothers & sisters in Christ, death is assured, it is true. Everybody want to run from death, but can’t. At any time, at any moment, at any place, death can take the life of any one. Nobody knows it’s time or place or way. One can ask, “Mister, we see & face death every moment some-where or other place; you are saying that God never made it for human, then what is death? From where it came? Why it came”?
In Holy bible explain that when formed man from dust of ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living being (Genesis 2:7). And Lord God blessed him to prosper and to be fruitful, and multiply, increase in number and to fill the earth and subdue it. No death was told to man. But he was warned about death. He was just warned to beware of death. He was told to eat any fruit of the garden (Genesis 2:16).
But he was told that there was something harmful, and he was warned not to play with this. He was told that not to eat, even not to touch the fruit of the tree in middle of the garden. If you eat it, or even you touch it, death will take you in it’s binds.
Very clearly it is written in Genesis 2:17 and 3:2-3, woman (Eve) said to serpent, that we can eat fruit from any tree, but God has strictly forbid us to eat the fruits of one tree that is in the middle of the garden. God has said, “you must not eat the fruits from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it. Because if you eat it or touch it, you will die”. It proves it that death was not made for human. Of course death was there, but not for men (Adam & Eve). Yes, it was for someone else. Definitely question arises, then for whom death was created? To find the answer, we have to look into Matthew 25:41 that declares that death was created for devil and his angels.
To know details about it we have to look into ancient ages before the man of this era was created. Let we go to Ezekiel 28:11-17. We read 1n verse 13 & 14 about a cherub (angel) loved so much by Lord God, anointed as a guardian cherub, in charge of all the treasures of God, all the army of Lord God, lived in Eden garden of God, established by God that covers on the holy mountain of God. Verse 18 tells because all of this glory & splendor he got filled with pride and violence and he sinned! He was expelled from the mountain, the presence of Lord.
Isaiah 14:12-15 tells that his name was Lucifer. Because being in charge of all the work of Lord God a dirty thought came to his mind. He thought that all the army and grander & treasures are under my order. “Then why should not I be God? Why should not I make my throne above the stars of god”? Verse 13 & 14 tells that he thought in his heart that he will be like Most High, Lord the God. He thought to make his throne above the throne of God. But Lord God knew his thought and cut him down to earth from His presence, His heaven.
It is narrates it Revelation 12:7-9 also, “And war broken out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the dragon and the dragon & his angels fought, but they did not prevail nor was a place was found for them in heaven any longer.
So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called devil and satan, who deceives the whole w orld, he along with his angels, was cast out to the earth.
Now when Lord God ornamented earth afresh and created Adam & Eve,
said serpent (Lucifer/Satan) was wandering along with his angels on earth. He saw afresh garnished earth. He saw Adam & Eve, new creation of God. Astonished to see, God created them on His own image? He saw the blessing of Lord for them. (Genesis 1:28). He saw Lord God asked them to have dominion on the whole earth? He saw God come daily to meet them. He saw God walking & talking with them. Such a great love for Adam & Eve! He was filled with jealousy.
“This love of God was for me, it was my right at sometime. Oh, I will not let them be at this place in the heart of God! If I could not remain at this place in the heart of God, I will not let them. I will manage someway or the other to throw them down in the sight of Lord God”. He started searching the way to do it all. He new one thing that Lord God hate disobeying, and disobeying is a sin before God. So he went in search of the reason for disobeying. At last he found it.
(Genesis 3:1-8)…The serpent was more crafty, more cunning than any other animals God created. He very cunningly asked Eve, “Has God forbidden you from eating any fruit”? “We can eat any fruit from tree, but Lord God has forbidden from only one tree that is in the middle of the garden. God said that you must not eat nor touch the fruit of that tree. If you eat or even touch it you may die,” replied Eve.
Serpent provoked her, “Never, you will not die, God know you will not die but your eyes will open and you will be like God”.
(Please mind the next words) Now when Eve saw the fruit of that tree, she found it good for food and pleasing to eyes and also desirable. She was always seeing this while walking in the garden. But before this time this was never pleasing to eyes, never looked good to eat but now it gave a new look. Because serpent, satan was showing it. To-day in life, in world it is happening every day. You forbid your children from doing many things because you know (not children) that those things, those works are harmful for life of children. You teach them for many years, and they obey you. But one day you come to know that your efforts have gone in vain. Because through the company of your children, same serpent (who provoked Eve) provoke in the same way. He says to children, “Your parents are not doing justice toward you. Once you do it (forbidden thing) and see what happens! You will enjoy a lot, much more than anyone’s thinking”! Your children obey him and are away from you.
Same happened with Eve. She believed Satan and obeyed & ate the forbidden fruit and gave to Adam also. What happened? Both hid themselves from God when Lord God came. Sin separates us from God our Lord (Isaiah 59:2) and the result?
God banished them from the Garden of Eden & death gripped man in it’s claw. And when Adam& Eve came out of garden Eden, days of trouble started. In the Garden of Eden they were in the presence of God, covered with the glory of God. As soon as the sin of disobeying entered in them, the glory of Lord God left them, and they got uncovered and then they found themselves naked. Now they had to worry & work & search for food and something to cover their body.
But dear ones of Jesus, God loved the human so much. God considered men His children (Deuteronomy14:1, John 1:12). He showed His love in Isaiah 49:16, as says, “I have engraved your picture on the palms of my hands. He could not leave him, could not endure this separation. And God managed to redeem man from grip of death . For this purpose Lord God Jehovah sacrificed His only begotten son as in John 3:16. “And when the fullness of the time had come, God sent His son, born of a woman, born under law” Galatians 4:4. And messengers (angels) were sent into the world to give the massage of coming of the son of God (Isaiah 7:14. Matt.1:21, & 2:1-2. Luke 1:26-30, & 2:8-14).
For salvation, for forgiveness, for redemption from sins, shedding of blood is necessary (Hebrew 9:22). And about this sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins Isaiah saw vision of this programme of God and detailed in his book chapter 53 that how God lays the sins & iniquities of whole world on His son and son (Jesus) happily endure the punishment of all. Jesus told about it in Matt. 26:28, “For this is my blood of new covenant, which is shed for many for forgiveness of sins”. And at the moment when the punishment of sins, that is death (Romans 6:23) touched Jesus, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, the wall of separation from God was broken. And again the everlasting life got managed for human (Colossians 1:20)
A new life, in which there is no death, no tears, no weeping, no worry, no pain, is now waiting for us (Revelation 21:1-5) Lucifer the serpent and death cannot enter in this new earth, new heaven. We have to take this everlasting life.
Amen.
