Advent: A Second Garden

God’s perfect world and pinnacle of creation humanity is turned upside down in the Garden of Eden, when a crafty serpent known as Satan appears on the scene. With ordinary measures, the serpent tempts humanity into sinfully breaking the only command they were ever given to appease their own selfish desires. As a result, mankind experiences the worst thing possible in a broken relationship with God, and is defeated by Satan in the Garden of Eden. With the created order upside down and headed for imminent pain and death, humanity finds itself in need of a Savior who can defeat this enemy once and for all and repair the broken relationship with a loving God. That Savior is Jesus!
