Adam and Eve Short Version

I respect every scriptural reading, but I often enjoy good clean humor from what I have heard and read. I like to think in terms of what Sarah said in Genesis 21, “God hath made me to laugh…”

     Three humorous jokes I found about Adam and Eve follow. Although funny, if you know scripture, there is sadness in their disobedience just as there is in our disobedience today. 

 

How did Adam and Eve feel when they were expelled from the Garden of Eden? They were really put out.

 

What excuse did Adam give to his children as to why he no longer lived in Eden? Your mother ate us out of house and home. 

 

What is one of the things that Adam and Eve did after they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden? They raised cain.

 

     The story of Adam and Eve can be found in Genesis. God created the first man, Adam, and placed him in the Garden of Eden. After that, God took a rib from Adam and created Eve as a helpmate. He gave them instructions not to eat of the fruit of just one tree of many in the Garden. Then along came the serpent, Satan, and deceived Eve into eating of the forbidden tree. She ate and then enticed Adam to do the same. When God asked what they had done and why? Adam blamed Eve. Eve blamed the serpent. God kicked them out of the Garden and told them to get a job; go work for a living. Afterward, they started a family. Cain was the firstborn, followed by Abel. Cain worked the field; Abel the sheep. Cain made an offering to God but his heart was not in it, so God did not approve or respect the offering. Abel made an offering out of love and desire, and God approved. It made Cain angry, so he killed his brother Abel. God then banished Cain to another place. 

 

     That is the short version, but does it sound familiar in terms of today? If so, be thankful for God’s grace and His plan of salvation through Jesus, his Son, because we do not deserve all His almighty blessings.
