And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths… And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. (Genesis 3: 7, 21 ESV)
Fixed
I learned how to tune a guitar the hard way. No electronic devices, no built-in tuners, no tricks. Listen and turn the knob till the tone was correct. But my guitar teacher was a skilled tuner. Even when I brought my guitar to the lesson all tuned up, he would tweak it. My efforts, due to inexperience and lack of awareness were never quite enough.
Adam and Eve knew they had sinned and tried to fix it on their own. The covered the symbol of their sinfulness, their nakedness, with garments made of leaves. But just like my tuning-efforts, it was not enough. Whether the leaves were physically insufficient, or the leaves would decay too quickly, or some other lack (I do not know, because I have never worn a fig leaf bathing suit) God saw, and God knew He had to fix it.
God made clothes for Adam and Eve, better than what they had attempted to make, because He knew more. He had skills they lacked. He had awareness they lacked. And far more than mere tweaking, He fixed their efforts to fix their sinfulness.
More than that, God’s fixing through those clothes was symbolic. He was giving a hint of things to come. The only way to really fix their sin, and their sin’s effects required sacrifice. Something, or someOne had to die for their rebellion.
Those skin clothes were a hint of the sacrificial system of the Old Testament.
Which was, in turn, a hint of THE sacrifice of Christ Himself to fix their sin… and ours.
Christians have been given better than animal skins to wear in God’s sight. We have been given the robes of Christ.
We are peculiar, we are fixed.
