Hi GK,

Do you notice that the animal skins required a sacrifice?

Just food for thought. I hope this helps.

In Him,
John

Thank you all for your words here, much wisdom, much appreciated.

JohnMichael, I did indeed and the reason for my comment above:  "unless it has to do with sacrifice, perhaps".  So yes, noticed, and I'm glad you did as well, meaning, not far off base it seems.

Again all, thanks.

Hi GK,

I meant no offense by that question. It was just meant as one of those thought-provoking type questions. It actually only dawned on me after I read your question.

In the story of Adam and Eve, when God clothed them, an innocent sacrifice was required in order to cloth them. Granted, in that scenario, the sacrifice was a physical one [the animal(s)] to give a physical covering for the physical Adam (and Eve).

Fast forward to the New Testament, and we have the innocent spiritual sacrifice for spiritual nakedness by the spiritual Adam who is Jesus Christ. It was one of those, "OH WOW!" moments for me when that clicked. I am definitely starting to see physical precedents in the story of Adam and Eve with spiritual reflections in the life of Jesus Christ. "Here a little, there a little."

In Him,
John

Hi JohnMichael,

Of course, didn't look at it that way at all..........so none taken, not even thought of.   But I appreciate your kindness of thought.
