“Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.”
Genesis 3:21
Yahweh God made garments from animal skins to clothe Adam and Eve. Their first sight of death was an innocent sacrifice, killed for them. God does not demand sacrifice; He provides the Sacrifice. God did not clothe Adam and Eve with the skin of an animal because of a divine need to be appeased, but for Yahweh God’s unconditional love for them. Adam was embarrassed about his nakedness, not God. This is the embarrassing proportion of God’s love for mankind that Jesus hung naked on the Cross to clothe us with His righteousness and glory. God clothed Himself in human skin, through His Son, for humanity to rediscover His image and likeness in our skin! What love is this! Worthy is the Lamb!
