The Simple Catechism #4
What do we call the result of Adam’s sinful curse that fell over all the world because he disobeyed?
The Fall
Story summary
Greybobby and friends fight to save an amusement park from a computer virus and the rampaging robots that it has infected. They learn that just like a computer virus, sin spread to all people through Adam in an event the Bible calls the Fall.
Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.
What Did We Learn?
- We learned that when Adam disobeyed God, sin entered the world, and everything was broken.
- The Bible calls that the Fall. Just like a computer virus spread through Sidneyland when Ricky made a bad choice, sin spread to all people through Adam.
- Sometimes things can look fun and seem fine on the outside, but underneath they can still be broken.
- But we also learned the good news. God did not leave the world broken forever. Just like Sidneyland needed a new Ricky, the world needed a new Adam.
- Jesus is the Last Adam. Where Adam failed, Jesus obeyed. Where Adam brought sin and death, Jesus brings forgiveness and life.
- Because of Jesus, broken things can be made right again.
