This weeks lesson deals with Satan's fall and the origin of sin. Ezekiel 28:14-17.
What does this tell us about the origin of sin?
Sin originated when Lucifer grew proud and began to exalt himself above everyone in heaven. His selfishness turned to wickedness and rebelled against God and was thrown out of heaven taking a 5th of the angels with him to the earth. Thus sin entered the world and God's perfect plan of order was disrupted.
What was Lucifer like before he fell?
Before Lucifer's fall, the Bible says he was the highest appointed cherub created by God. Vs-15 says "You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created". He was perfect in beauty and wisdom. The origin of evil within this perfect being is a mystery, but all have been suffering as a result of sin ever since. But how wonderful it is to have God so loving and wise that he foresaw these circumstances and has a perfect resolution to the issue of sin.
How often has it been that no matter what you had, you still wanted more? Whose character are you manifesting? Why is that so opposite to the character of Christ?
