The Promise Planted

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

One of the first promises God made was to provide a solution to the issue that has plagued humanity since the beginning – sin. Adam and Eve sinned, and the world has been filled with human corruption and death ever since. But sin had in instigator. The devil is a foe that no one is able to oppose. Only God is able, and He promised to intercede on our behalf according to His grace. He promised to provide a Savior, born as a Seed/Child of a woman. By that birth, the Child would be hurt in one sense, but crush the devil by that very pain! This provision speaks of Jesus – God’s personal intercession to provide grace by judging sin Himself.
