Nestled within the story of humanity's fall lies an astonishing promise—the first whisper of the gospel, spoken before Jesus ever walked the earth. In "The Gospel Before the Gospel," we unpack Genesis 3:15, where God pronounces judgment on the serpent while simultaneously unveiling His master plan for redemption.
The sermon takes us deep into this pivotal moment where sin has just entered the world. Yet even as paradise crumbles, God plants the seed of hope: "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." This cryptic declaration contains the DNA of salvation history—a divine promise that the woman's offspring would one day crush the serpent's head even while suffering temporary harm.
This ancient prophecy brilliantly foreshadows Christ's work on Calvary. Satan indeed "bruised Christ's heel" through the crucifixion, but through this very act, Jesus delivered the fatal blow to Satan's authority. As the sermon powerfully reminds us, "Don't say Satan will be defeated; he has already been trampled. Christ reigns now in the hearts of those who receive him."
The message challenges our divided loyalties, reminding us we cannot simultaneously inhabit Satan's world and God's kingdom. True peace comes only when our minds are completely "stayed on Christ." This sermon not only illuminates a profound theological truth—that God's redemptive plan wasn't an afterthought but woven into creation from the beginning—but also calls us to wholehearted allegiance to the One who has already secured victory over sin and death.
Have you embraced this ancient gospel promise? The Savior who was prophesied in Eden's garden has come, and He waits for all who will turn from sin and receive His perfect atonement. Perfect peace awaits those who choose undivided devotion to Christ alone.
