The Garden Grave
Sin Began in the Garden
Life Started in a Grave in a Garden
Adam & Eve Sinned
in the Garden of Eden
Genesis 3:8-13, 21-23 NLT
⁸ When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees.
⁹ Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
¹⁰ He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.”
¹¹ “Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?”
¹² The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.”
¹³ Then the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied. “That’s why I ate it.”
²¹ And the Lord God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife.
²² Then the Lord God said, “Look, the human beings have become like us, knowing both good and evil. What if they reach out, take fruit from the tree of life, and eat it? Then they will live forever!”
²³ So the Lord God banished them from the Garden of Eden,...
Jesus the Suffering Servant
Isaiah 53:4-9 NLT
⁴ Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins!
⁵ But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.
⁶ All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.
⁷ He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth.
⁸ Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream. But he was struck down for the rebellion of my people.
⁹ He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave.
A Grave in a Garden
John 19:38-42 NLT
³⁸ Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take down Jesus’ body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and took the body away.
³⁹ With him came Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night. He brought about seventy-five pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes.
⁴⁰ Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus’ body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth.
⁴¹ The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before. ⁴² And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
Life Started in a Grave in a Garden
Hosea 6:2 NLT

Psalms 16:10 NLT
For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
Matthew 12:40 NLT
For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
John 2:22 NLT

Isaiah 53:10 NLT
But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands.
Acts of the Apostles 2:25-32 NLT
²⁵ King David said this about him: ‘I see that the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
²⁶ No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts his praises! My body rests in hope.
²⁷ For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.
²⁸ You have shown me the way of life, and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.’
²⁹ “Dear brothers, think about this! You can be sure that the patriarch David wasn’t referring to himself, for he died and was buried, and his tomb is still here among us.
³⁰ But he was a prophet, and he knew God had promised with an oath that one of David’s own descendants would sit on his throne.
³¹ David was looking into the future and speaking of the Messiah’s resurrection. He was saying that God would not leave him among the dead or allow his body to rot in the grave.
³² “God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this.
Acts of the Apostles 13:33-35 NLT
³³ and God has now fulfilled it for us, their descendants, by raising Jesus. This is what the second psalm says about Jesus: ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.’
³⁴ For God had promised to raise him from the dead, not leaving him to rot in the grave. He said, ‘I will give you the sacred blessings I promised to David.’
³⁵ Another psalm explains it more fully: ‘You will not allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.’
Acts of the Apostles 26:22-23 NLT
²² But God has protected me right up to this present time so I can testify to everyone, from the least to the greatest. I teach nothing except what the prophets and Moses said would happen— ²³ that the Messiah would suffer and be the first to rise from the dead, and in this way announce God’s light to Jews and Gentiles alike.”
1 Corinthians 15:3-7 NLT
³ I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said.
⁴ He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said.
⁵ He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve.
⁶ After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died.
⁷ Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles.

"Jesus came to reverse the sin of Adam and Eve that began in the garden of Eden when they broke God’s command and took from the tree. Jesus “returned” to a garden to reverse the curse, restore the blessing, and bring life out of death. In that garden grave, the story came full circle."
