DAYS OF PRAISE-EVE THE MOTHER OF US ALL

DAYS OF PRAISE-EVE THE MOTHER OF US ALL

The Mother of Us All

May 13, 2012

 “And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

(Genesis 3:20)

 Sarah, Abraham’s wife, was called the mother of all “the children of promise

(Galatians 4:28), and the wife of Noah was the mother of all post-Flood 

mankind, but Mother Eve, alone, was “the mother of all living.” “Adam 

was first formed, then Eve,” Paul said in 1 Timothy 2:13, and so-called 

“Christian evolutionists” have never yet been able to explain God’s unique

 formation of Eve’s body in any kind of an evolutionary context.

 Eve, as our first mother, experienced all the great joys and great sorrows 

that all later mothers would know. She evidently had many “sons and 

daughters” (Genesis 5:4), and probably lived to see many generations of 

grandchildren. With Adam, she had even known paradise, but sin had 

entered their lives when they rebelled against God’s Word, and God had 

to say: “In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children” (Genesis 3:16). The 

greatest sorrow was no doubt when Cain slew Abel, and as with another 

mother whose Son’s innocent blood was shed many years later, it was like

 a sword piercing her own soul (Luke 2:35).

 Nevertheless, as near as we can tell, after her first great sin, Eve trusted 

God’s Word henceforth, and received His forgiveness and salvation.

 Later, as the mother of Seth, she taught him and her grandson, Enos, 

about the Lord and all His promises. “Then began men to call upon the 

name of the Lord” (Genesis 4:26).

 Most Christian believers are looking forward to seeing their own 

mothers again someday–restating their love and appreciation for all

 they did in bearing them, and in caring, teaching, and praying for 

them. But it will be a wonderful experience to meet our first mother,

 also, as well as Sarah, Hannah, Mary, and all the other godly mothers 

of old. HMM
