Do you remember playing in the yard as a kid? Things were simpler then. You weren't worried about emails and politicians and wars on the other side of the planet. You simply played. Sometimes, I watch Charlotte run around our backyard without a care in the world, and I envy that. I wish I could regain that freedom.
In the beginning, when we were in the Garden of Eden, things were pure. They were as they were meant to be, unspoiled by sin, untainted by brokenness. Adam and Eve were together. They walked in the cool of the evening with God.
Sin spoiled that, but Jesus is reminding us of how things are meant to be. He is speaking to the part of us that remembers Eden, and calling us to strive for that.
