He didn’t deserve to die , but He willingly took your place and experience death for you, 1 Peter 3:18 – For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God , being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the spirit : Why? Because of the great love He has for you.

G. To satisfy the people, Pilate had Jesus whipped and a purple robe placed on His shoulders and crown of thorns on His head, but still the Jews demanded His death 19:1-5 (the whipping was done with strips of leather embedded with pieces of metal and bone.

He asked God to forgive them 19:23-24, Luke 23:24 (Jesus’ payment for our sins, being punished for our sins, is an expression of His love for you and for me. The bible says in Colossians 1:14 that we have “redemption through His blood”)
CLIMAX : Jesus cried out “It is finished” and died on the cross taking the punishment for all sin forever 19:30

BIBLE TEXT : GENESIS 2: 7-3:24

MEMORY VERSE : Psalm 136:1 “O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for His mercy endureth for ever”.
LESSON AIM : God is merciful
CHILD RELATED TRUTH : The mercies of god brought you salvation.

INTRODUCTION :
Does the fact that you could have been a vessel of wrath prepared for destruction but instead you are a vessel of mercy which God prepared beforehand for glory cause you to marvel and thank god always?
If God can by His great mercy give you His son to die in your place. Romans 8: 32 surely you can trust him for lesser needs by His mercy.

PROGRESSION ON EVENTS:
A. God made man from the dust of the earth and placed him in a beautiful garden 2:7-9.
You can see how powerful God is! He has power to do anything; He had the power to create the world and all that is in it, that includes you and me. Because He made us, He loves us very much. The bible says God is love. 1john 4; 8b.
He loves you and me much more than we can imagine.
B. God gave this first man Adam, the task of working in this garden and taking care of it. Gen 2:15.
C. God told Adam then he could eat of every tree in the garden expect the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Gen 2:16-17.
D. God knew man’s need to be with others of his kind, so He formed a woman using Adam’s rib. Gen 2:18-24
E. One day as the woman [Eve] walked alone in garden, the serpent questioned her concerning God’s command Gen. 3:11
F. Eve explained they could eat from all tree except one. Gen. 3:2-3
G. Satan tempted Eve, assuring her that she and Adam would not die but would “be like God , knowing good and evil” Gen. 3:4-5.
H. Eve disobeyed God and ate the fruit also gave it to Adam her husband Gen. 3:6-7
This is how sin entered the world and every person born into the world inherits sinful nature, a nature that does not want to please God. Romans 5:12. The punishment for sin is death or separation from God forever. Sin is a very serious. It causes great unhappiness. It ruin God’s perfect plan for man.
I. Having their eyes opened, Adam and Eve knew they were naked and tired to cover themselves with fig leaves. Gen. 3:7.
J. God came into the garden seeking for Adam and Eve but they hid. Gen. 3:8-9
K. Adam and Eve were afraid; they knew they had disobeyed God. Gen 3:10
L. As God questioned about their sin, Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. Gen 3: 12-13
M. God showed His great mercy. He made a promise that He would one day send one who would put away sin and have victory over Satan. Gen 3:15(gospel verse)
The seed of the woman represented the Lord Jesus Christ who came from heaven to the cross for sin of the whole world. God in His great mercy did not leave you and I in our state of sin, but send down Jesus who took our punishment by going to the cross to die a painful death, what a God of mercy.
Because the lord Jesus took the serious punishment of sin on himself you can receive God’s gift of forgiveness and everlasting life today.
CLIMAX : John 10:10 says “The thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly”
CONCLUSION : Ephesians 2:4-5: But God, who is rich in mercy for His great love where within He loves us. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ (by grace ye are saved). The mercy of God brought us salvation.
