Have you ever come across something that you’ve read many times but see for the first time with fresh eyes? And then in the following days, in quite moments, you find yourself thinking about it?

Well, that’s where I’ve been for the last week.

Recently I read, in last months Table Talk from Ligonier Ministries, an excerpt from Martin Luther’s Table-Talk no. 1659 in which Martin Luther stated that Genesis 3:15 was the greatest promise in the first book of Moses, as the Lord pledges that the women’s seed will bruise the head of the serpent. Yet, this promise was also foreboding as the Lord’s own will have their heel bruised in the war. Then there was this sentence that captured me - “No servant of God makes it through life without wounds from the seed of the serpent.” So off I went to Genesis chapter 3 to read again the first presentation of the Gospel in vs 14-16 and the curse in vs 17-19. –>
