Flag of Our Father
Sermon by Mark SchindlerGod formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, so that man became a living being. He planted a garden eastward in Eden and placed the man there to tend and keep it. Out of the ground He made every tree pleasant to the sight and good for food, including the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the midst of the garden. The Lord God commanded the man that he might freely eat of every tree except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, warning that eating from it would bring certain death. Seeing that it was not good for man to be alone, God made a helper comparable to him by taking a rib from the man and fashioning it into a woman, whom He brought to the man. Adam recognized her as bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh, declaring that a man would leave his father and mother to be joined to his wife and become one flesh. In this state the man and his wife were both naked and not ashamed. God saw everything He had made, including mankind created in His image and likeness, and declared it very good. This creation established physical differences between man and woman not for division but as the foundation for unity under God's design, picturing the ideal relationship that would be realized through access to the tree of life.
