From Series: "The Garden"

Anyone who has planted a garden knows just how much work goes into making it beautiful and productive. Whether you are planting flowers or vegetables, it is often a labor of love. The greatest garden ever planted was the very first garden that God created in Eden. God not only planted trees and flowers, he also planted humanity in this garden. This is where mankind was first created and learned how to have a relationship with their creator. Unfortunately, that relationship was broken by sin. God did not give up on humanity. Throughout the bible we see many stories that center on the idea of a garden that give us insight into the human condition and what it takes to restore us to our creator. One day we are looking forward to the time when we can all gather together in a new Garden of Eden and live forever with our wonderful creator.
