Crib, Cross and Crown

The Original Catastrophe

Again and again our world is ravaged by catastrophes. Some 160 thousand people died as a result of the tsunami in December 2004, the loss of the Titanic cost 1522 lives and the Second World War left 50 million people dead. The original catastrophe, however, was the Fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden. This is the reason for all other catastrophes that have befallen the world. Sin brought about the separation of man from God. Without God man was drawn into everlasting damnation. Were God to allow just one sin into Heaven, suffering and death would enter. That is not God’s will.

It breaks God’s heart that man whom He has created and whom He loves has turned away from Him and handed himself over to death. Oh, how dreadful! As the proverb says, “There is no cure for death”. Not even a herb from the Garden of Eden. But maybe God has a remedy!?

God’s remedy – He sent His Son

God had a plan for salvation even in the Garden of Eden and He announced it, although in a very encrypted manner, immediately after the Fall: “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel” (Genesis 3:15). A never ending chain of prophetic statements points again and again to the coming Saviour, e.g.:

“A Star shall come
