Two
great reflections from Genesis Chapter 2
First: God’s great design in
creating and connecting Man and Woman.
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on
Adam,
and he slept; and He took one of his ribs,
and closed up the flesh in its place.
Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from
man
He made into a woman, and He brought her to the
man.
Second: Man’s response to God’s
design
And Adam said:
“This
is now bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”
Here
we have a man’s first words spoken to woman: the first words of a husband to a
wife. Adam essentially means that he believes the truth that he and his wife
are so spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically connected that it is
like they are one person. This is grand, intimate poetry.
Yes
ladies, a guy said that.
