While we have moved on in our scripture study to lesson 2 and our new scripture, it is good to come back to revisit! So much was learned from Alyssa on this scripture! There were so many points to learn and understand. I love the helper relationship that Alyssa describes in her lesson (the “eye gaze” and equal dignity, self-giving and service). The visual on the Sistine Chapel sacred art depicting Our Heavenly Father with Adam was, also, a very poignant lesson with, perhaps, Eve or the rest of humanity tucked under God’s arm. Again, the rules being put into place to protect “relationship” and to avoid disorder is explained so beautifully here by Alyssa. As well as, the important point of a Queen starting out as being the wife of the King, and as we go through scripture, the Queen is now the mother of The King. There is just so much goodness here; one could go on and on! This lesson was so wonderfully done, along with the entire lesson 1 webinar! Thank you WINE!
This was a special teaching, for sure, I would love to be one of Alyssa’s students lol
