Eve
Eve
First woman, 'mother of all living'; partner to Adam in Eden and after the Fall.
Teaching prompt
Why does God call Eve 'the mother of all living' right after the fall, not before?
Reflection
Where do you most need to hear that God's verdict over you is hope and not endless rebuke?
Points to Jesus
Genesis 3:15 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 (Galatians 4:4), who breaks the serpent's power at the cross (Colossians 2:15).
