“Then the LORD God took the man which He had created
and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.”
Genesis 2:15
.
In the beginning…nothing.
Creator God. Man. Woman. Garden. Perfect.
The very first man and the very first woman were given a very specific task; tend the beautiful Garden of Eden that God had created.
First farmer. First farmer’s wife….so God made a farmer!
Sin.
Evicted from garden.
Tend and keep became toil, sweat and thorns.
God’s redemptive work.
God provided for His farmer He had made.
