In a recent teaching, we explored Genesis 3:1-5, focusing on the serpent in the Garden of Eden. This passage presents a cunning creature engaging Eve in conversation, leading to temptation. The Hebrew word “nachash,” translated as “serpent,” implies keen observation, suggesting more than just a snake. The serpent’s dialogue with Eve mixes truth and deception, questioning God’s command and hinting that eating the forbidden fruit would grant divine knowledge. This narrative challenges us to reflect on our pursuit of wisdom and power, urging discernment and alignment with God’s purposes.
