"Where Are You?" Gen 3:9
This is the most profound question in the history of mankind, one that God is repeating today to the max.
This is a short message today.
When Adam and Eve decided to eat from the Tree of Interpretations (the knowledge of good and evil), their eyes were opened and they saw that they were naked. They sewed together fig leaves, tied them to their waists, and hid.
God knew exactly what they had done, came to the garden, and asked Adam “Where are you?
When God asks you a question, He is not seeking information!
This is your moment of arrest.
Stop. There are consequences you must face.
Has God changed today?
No.
Is He asking us the same question?
Yes.
Revelation 3:14-22 ESV “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation. (15) “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! (16) So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. (17) For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. (18) I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. (19) Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. (20) Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. (21) The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. (22) He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
A bit more than “Where are you?” perhaps.
The beginning and the end are the same question. We were naked then, we are naked today.
Open the door!
