INTRODUCTION
Like a strand of yarn running through fabric, the Bible also has a thread—an important theme—that stretches from the beginning of Scripture to its conclusion: the atonement.
From Genesis to Revelation, we can trace this scarlet thread.
Each book of the Bible, each story of Scripture, connects to each other, and ultimately, they point us to Christ’s atoning work on the cross.Slide5

Our sin results in shame
(Genesis 3:6-13).
Their
eyes
were opened.
Their
nakedness
was discovered.
Their covering was
insufficient
.Slide8
We need
atoning blood
to cover the shame of our sin (Genesis 3:21; Isaiah 54:4-5).
Both Old and New Testaments teach us that sin leads to
death
.
It’s not just our
exterior
that needs covering, it’s also our
interior
.
God took the
initiative
to cover the sins of Adam and Eve.
God also made
promises
throughout the OT to take away the shame of his people.
Christ endured a
shameful death
in order to grant us the gift of
new life

CONCLUSION
From the beginning of Genesis, we see the Creator crocheting His creation back together.
When Adam sinned, our relationship with God and others became undone.
But what the first Adam destroyed, the second Adam repaired.
In Christ we find the life-giving, shame-covering atonement for our sins.Slide10
