When Adam Met Eve (6 of 61)
In the Beginning
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Primary Scripture: Genesis 2:18-25
If you have your Bible, please turn to Genesis chapter 2. We want to continue in our study of the Book of Genesis, In The Beginning. We are going to talk about When Adam Met Eve.
Now, how many in this room have ever heard or seen the musical, South Pacific? Have you ever heard of that? Seen that? Very popular. It came out in 1949. Rogers and Hammerstein musical. And it featured a single in that musical that Andrew Lloyd Webber called "the greatest song ever written for a musical." Some of you will remember it. It says this: "Some enchanted evening you may see a stranger; you may see a stranger across a crowded room. And somehow you know, you know even then that somewhere you'll see her again and again. Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing. You may hear her laughing across a crowded room. And night after night, as strange as it seems, the sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams. Who can explain it? Who can tell you why? Fools give you reasons; wise men never try. Some enchanted evening when you find your true love, when you feel her call you across a crowded room, then fly to her side and make her your own, or all through your life you may dream all alone. Once you have found her, never let go. Once you have found her, never let go." When Adam met Eve, he was signing "Some Enchanted Evening." I mean, it was wow! Now, there's not a lot else there. It's just her. But, he lived with her. Adam lived to be 930 years old. We don't know how long Eve lived, the Bible doesn't say. It just gives Adam's birthday and death date. It doesn't give Eve's. But we can probably say Eve lived around that same time. I heard somebody say the other day, we have trouble in this world living with our spouses for 50, 60, 70 years. Live in the Old Testament times when you lived with your spouse for 800 years! That's a long time ...
