Sins First Covering

Many times have most of us read the first few chapters of Genesis. We know the story of creation and the fall of man into sin but do you know the first time that blood was shed to cover mans sin or nakedness? Do you know who did it? If you know the story of when the serpent deceived Eve in the garden and she took the fruit of the tree of good and evil, blessing and cursing, and gave it also to Adam they realized they were naked and where ashamed. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. Then the Lord came calling them in the cool of the day and they hid from His presence. Once the truth came out then the curse came in and the Lord pronounced judgement on them and the serpent. For the first time in the history of the world, sin came in like a flood and it affected everthing thing on this planet. Now the Lord loved Adam and Eve and He had to do something. He in His wisdom knew that the fig leaves would not do. So the Lord Himself had to do something. In chapter 3 verse 21, the Lord God made them coats of skin. Now where do you think the skins came from? Out of Heaven? No, the Lord had to take something innocent and He Himself had to cause the first shedding of blood. The first of many to come. See, the Lord would not require man to do something that He Himself would not do. Did you ever think about the fact that by His own Word and at His own hand He covered both Adam and Eve. He had to sacrifice one of His innocent creations to cover His most prized and loved of all He had created. What amazing love the Lord has for us all.
