I'm LOVING our family Bible studies! We've had family Bible studies before, but they've mostly been impromptu; stemming from Bible memorization, an item in the news, the Pastor's sermon, etc. This is the first time we've set out to teach a series & its been delightful!
Tonight's lesson was about the fall of humanity. When Christian told about the God declaring that the serpent would lose his feet & would instead sliver around on his belly they started singing (to Carmen's old song, "I've Been Delivered") "He's been defeated!" It was hilarious! Especially the realization that the original version fit so well; "defeated by the hand of the Lord!"
Morgan was very excited to learn that the "tree of life" is mentioned again in the book of Revelation. She said, "Oh that's great! I always daydream that I live on a beautiful paradise island that's a big, beautiful garden!"
The wrap up was about how Jesus Christ was the "seed of the woman" that would crush Satan's head. We talked about how the "princes of this world" did not realize that they'd crucified the Lord of glory, & how they surely would not have; for it was by the stripes Jesus bore on his back that we have our healing, & it was by the shedding of his blood that we can partake in forgiveness, & by Christ's burial that we can be "buried with him by baptism", & by his resurrection that we are filled with the Holy Ghost!
We ended the Bible study with a powerful moment of prayer.
Thank God for His divine plan!
