The very first thing that happened after the news reached heaven of the fall of man was that that God came straight down to seek out the lost one. As He walks through the garden in the cool of the day, you can hear Him calling – “Adam! Adam! Where art thou?” It is the voice of grace, of mercy, and of love.
Adam ought to have taken the seeker’s place, for he was the transgressor. He had fallen, and ought to have gone up and down Eden crying – “My God, my God! Where art Thou?” But God left heaven to grope through the dark world for the rebel who had fallen. Not to hurl him from the face of the earth, but to plan for him an escape from the misery of his sin. And He finds him.
Where? Hiding from his Creator among the bushes of the garden. Aren’t you glad God came seeking for you? You did not find Him. He found you, loved you, embraced you, and poured His healing love into your life. Now, you are a child of God! Praise Him! Praise Him!
