The Puzzle Came into View

The history of mankind can be likened to a puzzle being pieced together by the Lord. After the sin of Adam and Eve, mankind witnessed the connection of the first few pieces of the puzzle. In this story, looking back, it can be understood that the fig leaves did not cover the first couple’s new sinful nature. Instead, the Lord shed the blood of some animals and clothed His wayward creatures with the hides of those animals. Those alive at the time could not conceive of what is now clearly understood—that God would one day send His “only begotten Son” (John 1:18) to die and shed His own blood to bare “the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2) “in his own body on the tree” (1 Peter 2:24). That revelation, along with many others throughout history, is progressive.
