The Garden Grave

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

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
In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence.🕊️

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
After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this, and they believed both the Scriptures and what Jesus had said.

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
He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. 
He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. 
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. 
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."

Life is in the Blood

Just as the high priest sprinkled the blood of the sacrificed animal on the altar to atone for the sins of the people, so did Jesus' blood that was shed on the cross to atone for our sins.  But the high priest had to do that every year, whereas Jesus, our High Priest, did it once for all!  Just as Christ was put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit, so we are put to death in the flesh and made alive by the Spirit when we believe and repent and become born again.  Jesus conquered death for us!
Life is in the blood and there is so much more life for us who believe in Jesus Christ and what He did.  Jesus gives us eternal life!  We shall never die.  Yes our flesh will pass away, but we have an eternal home in heaven.  We will be raised up on the last day because of the blood of Jesus that was shed for us to give us life in abundance

And as we who believe, partake of the Lord's Supper and eat the bread and drink the wine in remembrance of what He did for us, we proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.  The word says "WHOEVER" believes, has eternal life.  Like Jesus asked...do you believe this?  That's all it takes, faith.  Without faith it is impossible to please God. 
God does not want the wicked people to die, He wants them to repent and believe in Jesus Christ.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.'
~•Leviticus 17:11

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life
~•John 3:16

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
~•John 6:54

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
~•John 10:10

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
~•John 11:25-26

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 
~•1 Peter 3:18

God Will Supply

There was a drought and a famine in Israel.  It was punishment because of king Ahab committing more evil than all who were before him.

So God sent Elijah to Ahab to tell him about this.  Then God sent Elijah to hide from persecution at a brook where He said He would send ravens to feed Elijah.  Well because of the drought, the brook dried up.  So God sent Elijah to another place where God had commanded a widow to provide for Elijah.
Elijah asked the widow for some water and as she was about to get it, he asked her for some bread, but she did not have any bread.  She was actually getting ready to die with her son because she was about to use the last flour and oil that she had and then they had nothing, so they were going to die.

So Elijah told her not to fear, but to bake him a small cake and bring to him and then to make for her and her son for God said that the bin of flour shall not be used up and the jar of oil shall not run dry until the Lord let it rain again!  Everything happened according to the word which the Lord spoke.

Then the woman's son became deathly ill and he died.  Elijah cried out to God and God brought him back to life.

This just shows how our God provides for us, our Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider!  We can see Elijah's obedience to God, his trust in God.  There was a drought!  God provided him with water.  There was a famine and God provided him food in a miraculous way!  There was death, God gave life!  Our God is so awesome, so loving, so kind to His faithful ones.

Let us never forget to remain true to God and trust in Him no matter what our situation may be.  God always has a plan and He will supply all our needs.  Look how He clothes the flowers in the field, He feeds the birds of the air.  You are much more valuable than they are!

6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.  14 For thus says the Lord God of Israel: 'The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth.' "  21 And he stretched himself out on the child three times, and cried out to the Lord and said, "O Lord my God, I pray, let this child's soul come back to him." 22 Then the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came back to him, and he revived. •~1 Kings 17:6,14,21-22
