Dr. J, Ray Butler is host pastbr. i ne marvelous creation ana tne institution 01 marriage Mildred , Peppers Sunday I School Lesson Lesson Scripture: Genesis 2:7 9,15-25 Lesson Aims: To explain the biblical account of human cre ation, to understand that God has a purpose for humanity and to appreciate the institution of mar riage. Background: The book of beginnings recorded God's mag nificent creation. Within those first two chapters so much hap pened that we ought to be speech less. God allowed humanity to view (in retrospect) His power. He simply spoke and it was so! Day one, light was diffused and separated from darkness. On the second day. God divided the waters with an expanse called sky. The third day, the omnipotent one organized dry ground (land) for habitation. Day four, God created the stars, moon and sun, with the latter two determining seasons. On the fifth day and part of the sixth, God populated the land, the sky and the water. Each animal was blessed and told to multiply. The final creation on day six was man. The Trinity created man in their own image, and man had domin ion over the creation. Last week's lesson included God's instructions to man (verses 29-31). At the end of the sixth day, God pronounced all of His creation as "very good." Our lesson today goes into more depth on this part of creation. Lesson: First of all, the seventh day is established and made holy. Then creation of man is revisited. From the dirt God fashions a body. Into it He breathes the breath of life, and man becomes a living soul. This wonderful ere at ion is then placed in the Garden of Eden (park of delight). If we think back, last week's verses 29 31 have even more meaning here. The trees of life and of knowledge are in the middle of the garden (v. 9) also. For what purpose was all of this? Man is to work and take care of the garden. He also is given the responsibility to name every living creature. Though the creatures of the land have mates, Adam (made from land) does not. God causes man to go into a deep sleep. From Adam, God takes a rib and forms a helpmate for him. She is given to Adam and he names her woman because she came from him. God institutes marriage in verses 24 and 25. Application: Humanity is no accident, no quirk of nature. Humanity is not the result of some cosmic collision. God's eter nal plan has included all of us. Even today, no matter the circum stances, we are here because God said so! Nbw within this plan it becomes obvious that humanity has something to do. There is pur pose for everything that God cre ated. Humanity's purpose is to be responsible care takers of the cre ation and have direction in our lives. Direction is wholly depen dent on God, which leads to wor ship and obedience to Him. Adam had no equal. God created exactly what was needed. The two, man and woman, are created for rela tionship with one another. This relationship included loving, help ing and nurturing each other in all things. Verses 24 and 25 give insight into a successful union. Man and woman are to keep each other first behind God; that includes family, finances and the like. Secondly, they are to become one. This doesn't mean that their individual identities are lost but they are focused on the same goals (maybe equally yoked?). Each task or situation before them is approached as a unified effort. Finally step three of this union is based on intimacy with- ? out shame. Notice the formula. If relationships today are to be suc cessful, we need to go back to God's way. This union is mystical and fulfilling, but God must be at the center of it. This wonderful creation is completed and God wants human ity to worship Him.
