Week 2 Audio
Week 2 Document
This week we looked at the four major gardens of the Bible: Eden, Canaan, Gethsemane, and Zion. Just as the two bookend gardens mirror one another in content, so it is with the middle two gardens. Canaan representing the Old Testament...Gethsemane representing the New Testament.
In Old Testament, God rescues His people from their bondage to Pharaoh in Egypt and delivers them into a land where they can flourish. In the New Testament, God rescues His people from their bondage to sin and is in the process of delivering them into a land where they can flourish.
Homework - What profession (so to speak) do we find in all four gardens?
I am thinking a gardener or a "harvester." Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteNot a gardener...keep looking!
ReplyDeleteA Scupter? God formed Adam, A cross was made, Heaven was built??? Driving me crazy!!!
ReplyDeleteFound this verse that I thought went well with our study! Psalm 92:12-15 "The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the Lord; they floursih in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green, to declare that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him."
ReplyDeleteIt is a great verse. One that I thought went so well with our study that I decided to make it one of the theme verses...see week 1 document.
