Sin, curse, and death. This was Adam’s problem and it’s our problem as well. Everything bad we see in the world is because of the curse because of sin. Because of sin, we are condemned before God and destined to eternity apart from Him in Hell. It’s bad here and it just gets worse. If the Bible stopped in Genesis 3, we would be ruined.
Yet, the Bible doesn't stop there. God promises a redeemer in Genesis 3:15 and this redeemer would be a curse-reverser by becoming the curse for us.
Jesus reversed the curse by going all the way to become the curse. There are depths to this we cannot unpack here, but let us strive to see the big point. In this Easter week, as we remember the cross, we are remembering when Jesus went all the way to be our Savior.
