THE ZIG OF CAIN AND THE ZAG OF CHRIST ~ 8
As I begin this it is the 20 th commemoration of 9/11 today and those of us old enough to remember that day will never forget the evil horror. Each of us, even if we ignore the truth of Genesis or reduce it to mythology, are hard pressed, if we look honestly at our own life choices, to be unaware we, all humanity and creation in general, cannot escape the stark reality all creation, the human family in particular, experience the brokenness which is ours, which is humanity’s, because of the choice made by Adam and Eve to believe satan, the liar, rather than God our truth-speaking, loving, Father. The first experience by human beings, starting with Adam and Eve, after by sin if not rupturing completely certainly fracturing our relationship with God and His Trinitarian love for us is fear, followed by God not seeming to recognize us, and that is because sin distorts His image within us, thus we are unrecognizable as the person He has created.
