Bible tale: Adam, Eve, and Serpent

Adam, Eve, & Serpent
from Genesis 2 to 3
re-told by Debbie Dunn

• Story Highlights:
  * After putting Adam to sleep, God created the First Woman, Eve, from one of his ribs.
  * The devil, disguised as a Serpent, convinced Eve she would not die if she ate from forbidden tree.
  * Both Eve and Adam broke God's 1 rule by eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Narrator #1: After Adam gave all the animals names, he might have thought:

ADAM: No fair! Every male animal has a female companion. Why am I so alone?

Narrator #2: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit were probably thinking the very same thing. Perhaps Jesus said:






















JESUS: Father, how do You plan to create a wife for Adam?

Father God: That is a good question, Jesus. After I put Adam into a deep sleep, I will safely remove one of his ribs. I will use that rib to create the first woman.

JESUS: Great idea, Father! By the way, what will you call this first woman?

Father God: She will be called Eve which means the mother of all living.

Narrator #1: When Adam woke up, he saw the woman who would become his wife. After a full explanation to Adam, Jesus might have said:

JESUS: Adam, behold Eve. She will become your wife.

EVE: I am happy to meet you, Adam!

ADAM: Eve, I am happy you are here!

Narrator #2: Genesis 2 ends in a very surprising way. It reveals that both Adam and Eve were naked, but they were not embarrassed or ashamed. … Not yet, anyway!

Narrator #1: "Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made." If we had to guess, Satan probably entered the snake's body and was the one who was really doing the talking.

Narrator #2: For as you know, except for parrots and a future Bible story about a talking donkey, most animals are not able to actually talk. This trickster of a Serpent said:










SERPENT: Eve, did God really say that you must not eat from any tree in the garden?

EVE: Uh, ..., we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say that if we touch or eat from that tree in the very middle of the garden, we will die.







SERPENT: Eve, that is not true. You will not die. In fact, I will tell you a secret. God knows that when you eat fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, your eyes will be opened. In fact, you will be like God, knowing good and evil.

EVE: Really? Oh, my! Well, that fruit does look very shiny and delicious. And it would be wonderful to be wise. Did you hear that, Adam?

Narrator #1: This was Adam's chance to take a leadership role by saying no. But instead, he played the role of a follower. Adam said:

ADAM: Are you sure you want to do this, Eve?

EVE: Of course, I'm sure! That fruit looks yummy; plus, it will make us wise.

Narrator #2: Eve reached out to that forbidden tree, picked the fruit, and took a bite. Not wanting to be the only rule-breaker, she handed the fruit to Adam so he could also take a bite.
































































Narrator #1: Instead of dying, the eyes of both Eve and Adam were suddenly opened. Eve exclaimed:

EVE: Oh, no! Adam, I just realized that you are naked.

ADAM: Eve, I'm not the only one. You are naked, too. How embarrassing! Let us quickly sew some fig leaves together to cover ourselves.

Narrator #2: Afterward, Adam and Eve heard Father God walking in the garden. Uh-oh! They felt scared and ashamed. Quickly, they ducked down behind some bushes. God called out:

Father God: Adam, where are you?

Narrator #1: Of course, God can see and hear everything. Adam and Eve slowly stood up. Their hearts were likely pounding in fright. Adam said:

ADAM: God, I heard you in the garden. I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.

Father God: Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?

Narrator #2: Then, Adam began to play that 'BLAME-GAME' by blaming both Eve and Father God.

ADAM: The woman YOU put here with me - SHE gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.

Father God: Eve, what is this you have done?

Narrator #1: Eve also played the 'BLAME-GAME’ by pointing to the Serpent.

EVE: The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

Father God: Serpent, because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock and all wild animals. You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.

SERPENT: Oh, no! Father God has cursed me! What will happen to me now?

Narrator #2: Next week, we will find out more about the curse that happened to the serpent and the harsh consequences Adam and Eve had to endure.

Narrator #1: END OF SKIT. Let’s give our volunteers a great big hand!

Today and next week, we are going to hear more about Adam and Eve. But first, let’s do a brief review.

Last week, you heard the Creation story that came from the first chapter of the first book in the Bible.







What is the first book of the Bible called?

ANSWERS: Genesis





































How many days did it take for God to create the earth?

ANSWERS: 6 days plus God rested on the 7th day



















FYI – Let’s lay out those 7 days. We are going to make 7 columns of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

By the way, numbers are very important in the Bible.

Does anybody know what the number 7 represents?

Who recalls what the Trinity is?

ANSWERS: God the Father, God the Son aka Jesus, God the Holy Spirit

Our Heavenly Father God loved us so much that He created a number of things to help Adam and Eve, the animals, and all of us to survive and thrive.

What did God create on the 1st of the 7 days?

ANSWERS: Light, Day, Night

What did God create on the 2nd of the 7 days?

ANSWERS: Firmament aka sky

I am guessing that creation included oxygen and air that allowed Adam and Eve, the animals, and all of us to breathe and grow.

What did God create on the 3rd of 7 days?

ANSWERS: Earth aka Land and Seas

What else did God create on the 3rd day that would provide food for Adam and Eve and all people and all animals?

ANSWERS: Grass, Herbs, Flowers, Plants, Trees

ANSWERS: Sun, Moon, Stars

ANSWERS: Fish of the Seas and Birds of the Air. In other words, God created all the animals that live in the air and in the water.

























What did God create on the 6th of 7 days?

In a bit, we will display some of the animals that fit each category.

What else did God create on the 6th day?

ANSWERS: Man & Woman aka Adam & Eve

Regarding the animals, what power did God give Adam and Eve and all humans yet to be born?

ANSWERS: Humankind had dominion or power or rulership over …

the fish of the seas

the birds of the air

the livestock

the creeping things

and all the beasts of the earth.












































































Not only that, God did something very special for Adam and Eve, their future children, and all people.

Can I get a volunteer to read Genesis 1:26-27.









































































Genesis 1:26 (NLT) Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”

Genesis 1:27 (NLT) So God created human beings in His own image. In the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.

Let’s discuss that. What do you think it means?

ANSWERS: Group Discussion

What kind of food did God create for humans and animals to eat?

ANSWERS: FRUIT, HERBS, NUTS, SEEDS, and GRASS. They were all vegetarians.

Two final questions about the Creation story.

After God saw everything that He had created, what did He declare?

ANSWERS: It was very good!

What did God do on the 7th day of Creation?

ANSWERS: God rested on the 7th day. He blessed the 7th day and declared it to be Holy.

FYI - Christians celebrate our holy day on Sunday. By contrast, Jews celebrate their holy day on Saturday.

On the attached pages, you will see some of the animals that fit each category. We will begin with one animal that may really surprise you.

One of the Beasts of the Earth that God created was the Brontosaurus. Although Job, the 18th book of the Bible, uses the word Behemoth [buh-hee-muhth].

Discuss the animal pairs you see under each category. See the 5 attached pages on pages 8 to 12 on the PDF file download listed below.

DAY 1 OF THE 6-DAY CREATION




Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, on that 1st day, God created the heavens and the earth.

As you see,

Genesis 1:2A The earth was without form, and void.

It was empty.

And darkness was on the face of the deep.





































Genesis 1:2B And the Spirit of God moved and hovered over the face of the waters.





































Genesis 1:3 Then God said, “Let there be light.”

Just like that, like flicking on a light switch in a dark room, ... there was light.





























































Genesis 1:4A And God saw the light that He had created. God declared: "IT WAS GOOD."







Genesis 1:4B And God divided the light from the darkness.

Genesis 1:5A God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.














































Genesis 1:5B So the evening and the morning were the first day.

DAY 2 OF THE 6-DAY CREATION




















































On the 2nd day

Genesis 1:6A God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters.”

Question: By looking at the picture, does anybody know what a FIRMAMENT is?

Answer: The sky.

Genesis 1:6B-7 God used that FIRMAMENT, THE SKY, to divide the waters under the sky from the waters above the firmament.

Question: What are the waters below the firmament?

Answer: The sea.

Question: What are the waters above the firmament?

Answer: The rain - clouds. Rain clouds.

Genesis 1:8A And God called the firmament Heaven.

Genesis 1:8B And God declared: "IT WAS GOOD."

























Genesis 1:8C So the evening and the morning were the 2nd day.

DAY 3 OF THE 6-DAY CREATION























































On the 3rd day,

Genesis 1:9 God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so.

Genesis 1:10A And God called the dry land LAND or EARTH and the gathering together of the waters He called SEAS.










Genesis 1:10B And God declared: "IT WAS GOOD."


























































Also on the 3rd day, Genesis 1:11-12A God created the grass, herbs, flowers, & plants.




Genesis 1:11-12A God also created all kinds of regular seed-bearing trees and all kinds of fruit trees.

Genesis 1:12B And God declared: "IT WAS GOOD."

Genesis 1:13 So the evening and the morning were the 3rd day.

DAY 4 OF THE 6-DAY CREATION





























































On the 4th day

Genesis 1:14-18A God created the sun, and the moon, and the stars.







Genesis 1:18B And God declared: "IT WAS GOOD."

DAY 5 OF THE 6-DAY CREATION










On the 5th day

Genesis 1:20A God created all the fish of the seas.
































































Genesis 1:20B-21 and God created all the birds of the air.

Genesis 1:22 He told them to "Be fruitful and multiply."

DAY 6 OF THE 6-DAY CREATION




On the 6th day

Genesis 1:24-25A God created the cattle. That included sheep and goats and so forth.

God created the creeping things that includes all the reptiles and insects and rodents.

God created all the beasts of the earth that includes lynx and bears and tigers.







Genesis 1:25B And God declared: "IT WAS GOOD."













Genesis 1:26A- Also on the 6th day, God created man in His image and likeness. He created male and female. God blessed them and instructed them to be fruitful and multiply.

Genesis 1:26B-28 God gave all humankind dominion over

the fish of the seas

the birds of the air

the cattle

all the creeping things

and all the beasts of the earth.
































































Genesis 1:29-30 God gave all humankind and all the animals plenty of food to eat. This food included fruits, herbs, nuts, seeds, and grasses. In other words, at that time, all humans and all animals were vegetarians.

Genesis 1:31A And God declared: "IT WAS VERY GOOD!"

















































Genesis 1:31B So the evening and the morning were the 6th day.

DAY 7 – THE DAY AFTER THE 6-DAY CREATION

















































Genesis 2:1-2 On the 7th day, since God had finished all the work He had been doing, He rested.

Genesis 2:3 God blessed that 7th day and He made that 7th day to be Holy.
