Leading to Jesus- Clint Davison - 2025_10_05

Lesson 5 of 13 November 3, 2025

The class began by outlining a series focused on 'Leading to Jesus,' emphasizing the importance of understanding Jesus's role throughout the entire Bible, including the Old Testament. The teacher highlighted the significance of Adam and Eve's first bad decision in Genesis 3, explaining how this event set the stage for the need of redemption and God's foreordained plan to provide salvation through Jesus. The discussion centered on the temptation in Genesis 3:1-7, analyzing the serpent's deception, the couple's choice, and the immediate consequences of their actions. The teacher emphasized that even before the fall, God had already established a plan for redemption, pointing forward to Jesus as the solution to humanity's broken relationship with Him. The lesson encouraged viewers to see the Old Testament not as a distant or irrelevant section of Scripture but as a foundation that directly leads to the revelation of Jesus in the New Testament. The class concluded with a prayer for spiritual growth and a call to recognize God's eternal purpose in every part of Scripture.

Genesis 3:1-7

Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You cannot eat from any tree in the garden'?)... Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves."
