1121A: Forbidden Fruit
What happens when you have been told that you cannot have something? Forbidden fruit captivates the mind; it tantalizes you, disturbs you, angers you. It is the issue of forbidden fruit that we will be dealing with in this lesson. Our study takes us back to the book of beginnings, back to the first "tree crisis" recorded in Scripture. We will be looking at why God made one tree different from all the others; what that tree represented to man; and how it reflects our attitudes toward God today. God has given us a landscape of reminders not to toy with forbidden fruit, whether it's only a drama going on in our minds or we are acting it out on the stage of life. He wants to remind us of the disastrous consequences of forbidden fruit.
