Where Are You? Read: Genesis 3:1-10 The Lord God . . . said to him, Where are you? Genesis 3.9 Bible in a Year: Genesis 4-6; Matthew 2 The two teenage boys heard the sound of their parents car and panicked. How would they explain the mess in the house? Their father´s instructions had been clear that morning before he and their mother drove out of town: no parties, no rowdy friends. But the unruly friends came and the boys allowed them to stay, despite their father´s warning. Now the house was in a jumble and the boys were tipsy and disheveled. In fear, they hid. That was how Adam and Eve must have felt after they had chosen to disobey God and then heard the sound of Him approaching. In fear, they hid themselves. Where are you? God called Gen. 3.9 Adam responded, I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself (v.10). Sin makes us feel afraid and naked, and we become vulnerable to even more temptation. God is still calling to people: Where are you? Many run away, trying to hide from Him or drown out the sound of His voice. Yet we cannot hide from God; He knows exactly where we are. Rather than hide in fear, we can respond in this way: God, be merciful to me a sinner! Luke 18.13. Would you be free from the burden of sin? There´s power in the blood, power in the blood; Would you over evil a victory win? There´s wonderful power in the blood. The only place to hide sin is under the blood of Christ. |
