Here only do we have anything to say, to do, to become. We can't do anything about Eden. We have been expelled, and rightly expelled, having disparage the goodness of God and disobeyed the wisdom of God and disdained the blessing of God. We can't do anything here for two reasons. In the first place, offenders can't finally achieve reconciliation in any personal relationship anywhere in life.
Reconciliation is always finally in the hands of the offended party anywhere in life.
Since we are offenders any possibility of reconciliation rests with the God we have offended. God wrought our reconciliation to him in the cross. Then there is only one matter for us to settle. If we intend to do this today or to go on doing it today we must cling in faith to the crucified one himself. He is the son with whom the Father is ever pleased.
