Hello, I’m Stephen Buckley, and this is part 2 of Genesis 3, working verse by verse through the pivotal moment in the history of man, shortly after the creation week.
In part one we witnessed Satan as the serpent deceive the woman; she ate; he ate; and when he eat everything changed.

God inquired of the couple beginning with Adam as head, and began his judgment with the serpent, before turning to the woman, and today we are going to look at the remaining verses 17-24, beginning with Adam’s judgment and the aftermath: the consequences immediate, lifelong, and those that remain. Let’s get straight into it.

Adam is held responsible for his own sin but also the corporate sin of his family and humanity as representing leader, and all under his rule are affected in his judgment. The buck stops with him. This priest-King is not immune to discipline.

Prepare to sin, prepare to suffer.
