The Well With the Holy Name: Reflections on Messiah

THE WELL with the HOLY NAME

From the beginning, the Creator was intent on dwelling with creation. But the debacle in Eden, left Adam and descendants attempting to cover the experience of ""nakedness"" with one fig-leaf fashion statement after another. We, humans, were just not designed (or equipped) to erase, undo, fix or ""wash-away"" the residue of Original Sin.

Thankfully, the crimson-chord running through Scripture culminated at the Cross, where God's judgment and God's mercy were fused into One. At the very location where Abraham willingly placed his son beloved son Isaac on the altar, the Heavenly Father provided (offered) Himself, the requisite blood-donation to settle the sin-debt incurred through Adam and Eve. Yes, ""in Christ"", God and Man are well-able to ""tabernacle"" again.
