. Methuselah, or Mthuwshelach, means man of the dart. This name is derived from two root words. Transliterations of the first include men, few, small, friends, and persons. Transliterations of the second include sword, weapon, sprout, and shoot. For purposes of this reading, our emphasis is placed on the transliteration men and friends. However, here is an example of divine nuances as we see that Christ, who was pierced with a sword, was the offshoot of the stump of Jesse (Isa. 11:1), sprouted from the branch of David (Jer. 33:15), and is the one in whom we find our greatest weapon against sin and death: Jesus has equipped us with the sword of His Spirit, which is the Word of God.

TODAYS READING: Genesis 12

In the beginning God created.And God said Genesis 1:1, 3

For those with eyes to see, Jesuss first appearance in the Bible is right here, at the very beginning. In the beginning God created. He created simply by speaking. God spoke and it was. In creation He revealed to us the power of His word and introduced us to His Son!

God said, Let us make man in our image (Gen. 1:26). Here we find the first reference to the Holy Trinity. Jesus is here in the us. Jesus, God the Son, who holds the creator rights, has been from the beginning (Prov. 8:2223; Isa. 43:13; Col. 1:17).

We can liken the Old Testament to a picture book that sketches out sweet shadows and presents powerful portraits of our Prince of Peace. We find Jesus revealed in its pages as the wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:24), the redeemer (Job 19:25), Immanuel (Isa. 7:14), the righteous Branch of David (Jer. 23:56), and the Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6). But the New Testament reveals the image of the invisible God who became flesh and lived among us:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (John 1:1, 3, 14)

Jesusthe Word made flesh, the creator, our lord and savioris here in Genesis. He is here from the very beginning!

TODAYS READING: Genesis 3

I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Genesis 3:15

Adam and Eve had everything anyone could ever dream of, but then they sinned. They rebelled against God. The Bible says that because of Adams sin, all mankind was born into sin (Rom. 5:12). But God, who is rich in mercy, provided a remedy in the form of a redeemer who would take the punishment for sinthe sin of the whole world. That redeemer is promised right here in Genesis 3:15.

Jesus Christ is the seed of Eve, the one who would crush the head of the serpent. Because of Christs atoning work through His death and resurrection, we are no longer under the curse of sin but are instead children of God. We are joint heirs with Christ, and our Enemy has been defeated!

God saw Adam and Eve in their exposed state of sin and divinely provided them coverings from a sacrifice (Gen. 3:21). Those animal skins pointed to Gods ultimate sacrifice, His promised remedyJesus Christ.

Gods grace covered Adam and Eve. This is good news for us, friend, because that same grace covers you and me. The blood of Jesus washes us clean. He covers our every sin, and we are clothed in Christs righteousness (Rev. 19:8). So as you start a new day, no matter your situation, remember that God keeps His promises. He provided a redeemer who crushed the head of Satan, and that redeemeryour redeemerlives! He is Gods promised remedy.
