God’s Garden: Exile in Adam & Restoration in Christ

Genesis 3:20-24 with Revelation 22:1-5

God exiles Adam from His garden-temple – and Christ restores us to
God’s garden-city-temple.

1. Gospel hope and the judgment of exile. (Genesis 3:20-24)

   a. This is why we should feel “homeless” in this world.

2. Israel’s history of sin, exile, and promised
restoration. (Deuteronomy 30:1-10)

   a. This is why we should live as “exiles” in this world.

3. The restoration realized in Christ crucified, risen, and
returning. (Revelation 22:1-5)

   a. This is why we should look forward to the heavenly city-garden.
