Jesus the Gardener

How interesting that Mary meets Jesus the gardener when going to visit his tomb.  What implications does this bring?  Jesus, the perfect human (Adam), is resurrected and the first thing that we find is that he is gardening.  He is restoring the cultivating that was commanded to Adam in Genesis one.  But Jesus is bringing in the New Creation versus Adam that brought in the first.  Adam was in a sense unable to fill this command, for when sin entered cultivating was not as easily accomplished as it had been in the beginning.  But with Jesus, this process once again can be accomplished with the covering of our sins with his blood.  How amazing!  Jesus, bringing in the new creation is making all things new once again.  What once was destroyed with sin, is now being restored with the resurrection and the beginnings of new creation.

When Adam died he brought sin into the world, but when Jesus died he brought sin out of the world.  How interesting, how interconnected.  The scriptures are full of this, connection throughout.  Now originally Adam was without sin and had the anecdote for eternal life, being the tree of life. But since he chose the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, sin entered and this beautiful creation began to die.  The original purposes of mankind were tainted.  But with Jesus, his taking on sin, though for a short time brought his death, but overall brought forth life.  Complete reverse of Adam's situation.  How unbelievable is this.  And now once again the anecdote for eternal life is giving again in a new way as with the bringing in of new creation.  This new creation not that it did not exist in the past, but now the Holy Spirit will dwell inside of man.  And man will be the temple of God, just like Eden was the first temple with the emergence of Creation.  But now with the new creation beginning, the restoration of Eden's temple shall now be in mankind.  And this Spirit will renew us to once again be able to live the life that Adam was originally called to.  Wow!  Do you feel the excitement, do you feel the connection?  There is endless things to write about, but here I must end for time's sake.  But explore this idea.  New Creation starting with a simple but profound gardener!
