Genesis

Chapter 3

19 By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you areturn to the ground, Because bfrom it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return."
Genesis 3:19 NASB
Jijuxian's Note
Dec 11
But Christ, as the second Adam, has borne the Curse for us (Ga 3:13): as the "man of sorrows" (Isa 53:3), wearing the thorns and suffering the greatest pain (Mk 15:17), accompanied by strong crying (Heb 5:7) to sweat drops of blood before being finally brought into the dust of death (Ps 22:15). Because He so suffered for us, someday God will dwell with men, and "there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain" (Rev 21:4). Indeed "there shall be no more curse" (Rev 22:3).
