A Reason to Hide ( Genesis 3. 7 - 13 )

A Reason to Hide 
( Genesis 3. 7 - 13 )

       The very moment that Adam and the woman tasted the forbidden fruit, they saw things differently. They looked down at their bodies and realized that they had no clothes on. For the first time ever, they felt embarrassed. So they quickly started making clothes with which to cover themselves.

       Suddenly they heard God moving through Eden in the cool evening breezes. They ran through their special garden, frantically looking for a place to hide.

       The Lord God said to them, " Where are you?"

       " Don't look, God. We are not wearing very much! " Adam called to God.

        " Who told you you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of knowledge of good and evil?" God asked.

        Adam said, " The woman gave me some fruit to eat, so i did."

       " But the serpent fooled me, and that's why I ate," the woman said.

   No matter what they said, it felt as if a cloud were hanging over Adam and the woman. The sunshine felt cold and for the first time ever, the people were afraid.
