The story of Adan and Eve in the garden is the story of the source of temptation, suffering, and peace.
God wants everyone to know him. But we cannot see or hear him.[1] God had a problem. How can he make himself known?
The account was written by Adam and bears his signature in Ge 5:1 (see [[Appendix A]]). Though the story is real history, God nudged Adam to write his story in such a way, that God could hide another message, that Adam didn't know about. We will examine both the history, and the hidden drama.  


Cast of Characters
Since we are in him [], we are like fish swimming in the stream.[] We do what we want, and think we are in control. God is like the stream. He nudges us where he wills.  
:God plays himself. I mean really... Who else would be qualified to play God?
:Adam plays the role of Christ.
:Eve will represent the church.
:Animals will represent people who don't know God.
:The serpent will play the part of Eve's heart.


Props

:Trees always represent the cross.
 
:Apron of leaves will represent the works of men.

He nudges us in patterns. If you hear a single knock on the door, you might not notice it. If you did hear it, you might think it was a random noise. To get your attention, I would knock more than once. Perhaps I would knock in a recognizable pattern.
:The path represents a life which allows you into, or keeps you out of the garden.
 
God gets our attention by repeating the same teaching in different ways. We recognize him from the patterns he gave us. What patterns did got make using the account of the tree?
 
1. Joh 5:37  And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
