WE ALL FALL DOWN

February 18, 2024 - March 17, 2024

The season of Lent is preparatory for the Holiest Week, and takes us on a deep dive into the why – why the world is so broken that it could kill Jesus; why Jesus decided to go with it for our sake; and why his death is somehow redemptive for humanity and the world God still loves. To get ready for Jesus, we’ll work through Genesis 3-11, alongside second (responsive) readings from Romans 5, where Adam and Christ collide in salvation history.

They knew that they were naked. The originary humans come of age, their naivete spoiled. Let’s talk about whether that’s the ruination of humanity, or the completion of our “image-of-God- ness.”

Truth and consequences. Even the ground is broken now – yielding thorns instead of food. God names the consequences for the humans’ impudence, and also clothes them compassionately.

East of Eden. The enmity between human beings is the immediate symptom and consequence of the brokenness. In the world “east of Eden” – which is the world we all live in now – competition for scarce resources feels real.

“I will never again.” God makes a decision: wipe it out, start over. But then God decides differently: “I’ll never do that again.” How do we wrestle with a God who learns as God goes?

The Scattering. In a sense, the creation-of-the-world story isn’t over until chapter 11. Throughout, God has been observing, evaluating, demolishing, renovating... and now God is redecorating, scattering and spreading the human family. That spread was God’s intention all along – that the human family would “fill the earth.” It’s our tendency to clump together in silos of sameness, but God is here hopeful that we’ll find beauty in diversity.
