Na u ne u tseba, that Adam lost his son, joalo ka Molimo? Adam experienced the same thing as God, when He lost His son.
Adama, Mora oa Molimo
The son of Seth, the son of Adam, Mora oa Molimo(Luka 3:38)
Adama e ne e le mora wa Modimo. Adam was made in the image of God (El-Elohim). God was Adam’s Father; his Creator; He conceived Adam by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Mme Modimo o boletse, Let us make man in Our image, Kamora sebopeho sa rona:'me ba ba tlohelle ho busa lihlapi tsa leoatle, Le hara chelete ea moea, le holim'a likhomo, le holim'a lefatše lohle, le digagabi tsotlhe tse di gagabang mo lefatsheng. So God created man in His Own image, Ka setšoantšo sa Molimo se ile sa mo bōpile eena; monna le mosali ba bopetse (Genese 1:26-27)
Adam had all the characteristics of God because His Spirit was in him. God’s Spirit had quickened him and made him alive.
Jwale, that man was created in the image of God, man was able to fulfill the commission of God. The commission of God was to rule over the earth.
God entrusted the earth to man and gave him His commandments. Now it was up to man, what man would do with God’s commandments. Because God had given man a free will.
How God lost His son Adam through disobedience
The Father-son relationship didn’t last long. Because after a short period, Adam became e hlokang kutlo to his Father. Adam didn’t keep God’s commandment and disobeyed his Father; Adam sinned and his spirit died. When his spirit died, nama (moya le mmele) became king and reigned in man’s life. Ha Adama a etsa sebe, God lost His son.
The life that was present in him was replaced by death. Ho tloha nakong eo Adama a entseng sebe, death reigned in man and the devil became his father.
Motho e mong le e mong, ya neng a tla tswalwa lelokong la Adama, would be born under the authority of the devil, sebe, and death and carry the death in his flesh.
Adam exchanged his Father (Modimo) for another father (diabolose).
Ka ho se mamele ho Molimo, God lost His son Adam and Adam lost his Father.
But what happened to God (the loss of His son), also happened in the life of Adam.
Not only did the same thing happen to Adam and Adam experienced what God felt when He lost His son Adam, but Adam also experienced, what God would have to go through again and what He had to give up for him, because of his deed of disobedience; his sin.
How Adam lost his son Abel and experienced the same thing as God
Adam experienced the same thing that God experienced; losing your son to death. Because Adam lost his son Abel due to his righteousness and the unrighteousness of Cain. The righteous Abel was murdered by his unrighteous brother Cain, who disobeyed the word of God. Joalo ka Adama (moya) was murdered by the serpent.
The devil had received authority over man by tempting Adam through his wife Eve with his words (Mashano). Because Adam believed the serpent above God, man became disobedient to God and sinned. Through sin the spirit in Adam died.
The devil had also authority in the life of Cain, which became visible when Cain’s offering was not accepted by God.
Leha ho le joalo, Abel’s offering was accepted by God. Because Abel’s offering was accepted by God, Cain became filled with anger. His anger resulted in killing his brother. (Bala hape: Why was Abel’s offering accepted by God and Cain’s offering not?).
What God endured in the Spirit, by Adam’s disobedience to the commandment of God, Adam experienced in the flesh, through the disobedience of Cain to the word of God.
God showed Adam His plan of redemption
Not only did Adam experience the same as what God experienced when Adam disobeyed His words, but God also showed Adam His redemption plan bakeng sa botho.
Abel was righteous and obedient to God and pleased God through his life. Because of his walk in righteousness and obedience to God and by doing good Abel was killed. Jalousie and anger ruled in Cain and led to the murder of his brother.
Abel didn’t do anything wrong. But despite that Abel didn’t do anything wrong, Cain became angry with him, because God was with him and He accepted his sacrifice, and so he killed Abel.
Jesus the Son of God was righteous and Ho mamela Molimo, mme a kgahlisa Modimo. In contrary to Adam, who became disobedient to God.
Jesus walked in holiness and righteousness and did good. But despite His holy and righteous walk, Jesus was killed by man.
Adam lost his righteous son, because of his deed of disobedience to God.
The devil killed Abel, and used Cain as his weapon, just like the devil killed Jesus, and used Jude and the leaders of the House of Israel as his weapon.
Because of one deed of disobedient of His first son Adam, God had to give His other Son Jesus Christ, to reconcile man back to Him through His deed of obedience.
God had to give His Son, so that the fallen state of man and the spiritual connection between man and God would be restored (fodile) and God could have a relationship with man again, as God intended from the beginning of creation.
God had to give His Son Jesus Christ, to conquer sin and death and to take the authority back from the devil and give it back to the new man (the restored man).
Jesus came in the flesh but walked after the Spirit
Jesu o tlile ka nama but was born of the Holy Seed instead of the corrupted seed of man. Therefore evil (sebe le lefu) was not present in the Seed and His flesh.
Jesus lived in the flesh, empa O tsamaile kamora Moya (just like Adam before he sinned). Jesus was obedient to His Father. A Mo kgahlisa, by doing His will and keeping Litaelo tsa hae.
Jesus the Son of God was obedient to His Father
Jesus was obedient to God, but He had to die, because of the disobedience of Adam. Sefapanong, Jesus carried all the sins and iniquities of man. He entered hell, hlotse lefu, and rose as Victor from the dead with the keys of hell and death.
Ka madi a Hae, Jesu o ile a khutlisa (fodile) the fallen state and position of man and the relationship between man and God.
Jesus took the keys of authority legally back from the devil. So that every man who believed in Him and be born again and e lutse ho eena, would have dominion over the devil, sebe, lefu, lefatshe, and all hosts.
The relationship between God and man was restored. Ka ho tsoaloa bocha ho Kreste, the spirit in man was quickened.
A new creation was created, born of the seed of the Holy Spirit.
And so Jesus restored the disobedience of Adam through His obedience to God and His sacrifice that was accepted by the Father.
Adam lost his son because of his deed, joalo ka Molimo. But God not only lost His son Adam to death (through his disobedience), but He also had to lose (ka nakoana) His second Son Jesus to death (through His obedience).
This all happened because of one deed of disobedience…
