(Genesis 3:16-19)
To the woman he said, 'I will greatly increase your pangs in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.'
And to the man he said, 'Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you, "You shall not eat of it", cursed is the ground because of you; in toll you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
Reflection:
Yes, the bible answer my question. I was wondering why women have to go thru the pain in labour? I am sure some men ask too why they have to work and the wife stay at home? Look at the answers from the scripture above.
Of course in modern days, most of the things changed like men became househusband and woman is at work. Look at the ancient times, the man has more power and rule over woman; man is the breadwinner and woman is the housewife.
Adam & Eve has spoilt the privilege to have free food, and this makes sense that "there is no free lunch". You got to work for it and earn it. And we must die! No eternal life on earth.
But there is a free redemption from Christ. God sent his only son to free us from sins and open the gate of God's house for us to go back to him. Now we know where and how did we comes from and where we will be going after we die.
Let us thank God for revealing the truth and guides us back to him and give us life. May he protects us always from dangers and temptations. Amen
