From the family tree

Spouse
Adam
Children
Seth, Cain, Abel

Teaching prompt

Why does Adam name his wife Eve, 'the mother of all living,' only after the fall — and not before it?

Reflection

Where do you most need to hear that God's verdict over you is hope and not endless rebuke?

Points to Jesus

promises that the offspring of the woman will crush the serpent's head. The whole canon then watches for that Seed — fulfilled when Mary, a daughter of Eve, bears Jesus (), who breaks the serpent's power at the cross ().

Discussion questions

  1. How does God describe Eve before she is even formed?
  2. What does God promise about the woman's offspring?
  3. How is Eve's role echoed and reversed in Mary?

Scripture

Scripture quotations are from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), which is in the public domain.
