In this sermon, Andrey Gorban explores humanity’s deep longing for Eden, reflected in our love for nature. Genesis 2 shifts from the broad view of creation to God’s personal work—forming Adam, placing him in a garden of beauty and abundance, and giving him the tasks of working and keeping it.
However, Adam is given a command: do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. His eventual disobedience brings death, but Gorban points to Christ—the second Adam—who restores what was lost through His sacrifice on a tree. Revelation 22 reminds us that, through Him, we are not just longing for Eden; we are headed back to it.
