Romans 11:33-36
33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge
of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His
ways! 34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who
has been His counselor?” 35 “Or who has given a gift to
Him that He might be repaid?” 36 For from Him and
through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever.
Amen.
The very first promise of redemption comes immediately after the
Fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden. There God declares that the
“seed of the woman” would “bruise the head of the serpent” (Genesis
3:16). In the earliest churches, this great promise was
artistically represented by mosaics of dragons on floors—upon which
everyone in the congregation could step and jump and stomp. We
don’t have a mosaic in our foyer, but we have included a wonderful
Celtic dragon image designed by Caleb Faires on the following page,
which you may enjoy printing, decorating, and stomping. So on this
Resurrection Sunday morn, go ahead: join with the saints across the
ages who have followed after Christus Victor in crushing the head
of the serpent! —Pastor George Grant
