A
Lot Like Eve By Kathy Harris
“I
didn’t eat that apple, so why am I being punished?”
Is
there a woman in the modern world who hasn’t made such an offhanded remark on
occasion? It usually brings a smile or a “you got that right” from the other
women in the room. Myself included.
And,
if you’re like me, you’ve often pondered how one woman’s sin could affect the
rest of us so dearly. How one afternoon snack—chosen from the wrong tree—could have
so much impact several millennia later.
When
we look back on Eve’s decision, it’s difficult to understand why she knowingly
went against God’s instruction. I mean, hey, if God told you or me not to do
something, we wouldn’t do it. Right?
Well,
therein lies the point. Upon closer inspection, we’re all a lot like Eve.
Anytime
we rebel against God, or His laws, aren’t we taking a bite from that same apple?
Each time we step out on our own, instead of waiting for God’s direction, we’re
heading down a road that will surely lead to “knowledge.” But it may be something
we really don’t care to learn. The school of hard knocks can teach us a lot,
but it can leave us with bumps and bruises and maybe a few lifelong scars.
Life
is full of decisions. Sometimes we make the wrong one. In The Road to Mercy, Bethany Harrison must live with a choice she
made years ago. One she now regrets. One that could destroy her marriage. One
for which she’s never forgiven herself.
The
Good News is that despite our mistakes—no matter what they are—God will welcome
us back with open arms. And just like Eve—or Bethany, we can find redemption
through His mercy.
THE ROAD TO MERCY BOOK TRAILER
Have you ever dared to
hope you could find God’s forgiveness?
Even when you can’t
forgive yourself?
