The minute I fail to see my own sin, the cross loses it's meaning"-
-Charles Spurgeon
Genesis 3:7-11
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”
10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
Indeed, how we are prone to wonder, prone to leave the God we Love, to dress in fig leaves and Hide in the bushes from His presence. Yet the Cross of Christ indeed exposes such folly in us; we cannot hide our nakedness from His Sight, it is foolishness to think otherwise, but that we may come out from behind the bushes and believe on Jesus to remove our fig leaves and cloth us in the righteousness of His Blood!JV
