God’s Plan

Three scientists—Papaia, Banani, Ravioli—and their assistant Igor, who are supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference, board the wrong flight and end up on the other side of the world. After arriving at the wrong airport, they book a hotel for the night, but it’s not exactly what they expected… in the sense that it’s awful. After a rough night, they also get stuck in the elevator.

We’re in the elevator, where the four of them are trapped.

Ravioli: I’ve finished reading the files I downloaded.

Banani: So?

Ravioli: They all say the same thing: the sending of Jesus was part of a precise plan.

Banani: A plan? Like the ones we come up with?

Igor: No, a plan that actually works.

Ravioli: To understand the problem, we need to go back to the beginning of the story.

Igor: To the Sumerians?

Ravioli: No, even before that. The beginning of the story is told in Genesis. God creates the universe and everything that exists, including the first two human beings, in the first six days.

Papaia: We know this one: God creates Adam and Eve, places them in Eden, gives them a perfect life, but forbids them from eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Then the serpent convinces Eve to eat it, and Adam follows. In the end, they’re driven out of the garden as a consequence of their disobedience.

Banani: Yes, but what does this have to do with Jesus?

Ravioli: Here’s the point. Many people only know this story superficially, but there are some fundamental aspects to consider.

Papaia: Like what?

Ravioli: First, in Genesis, we see that Adam and Eve could see and talk with God. In Genesis 3:3, Eve recounts God’s words. In Genesis 3:8, they hear God walking in the garden and hide.

Banani: So, they had a direct relationship with Him.

Ravioli: Exactly. But after their disobedience, God distances them from Eden, and a separation occurs between man and God. He also curses the soil, and from that point on, Adam will have to toil for his food.

Papaia: So, before, the land gave fruit spontaneously?

Ravioli: Exactly. Before the fall, food was readily available. That’s why Eden is called the “garden of paradise.” But there’s more. In Genesis 3:19, God says, “By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

Papaia: Right, God created Adam from the dust.

Ravioli: And now He decrees that he will return to dust.

Banani: So, He’s talking about death?

Ravioli: Exactly. This shows us that God’s original plan was for man to live forever. But because of Adam’s disobedience, death entered the world.

Igor: Ah, I see! So, just like Adam started in paradise and ended up in dust, we started with a prestigious conference and ended up in this… well, dustbin of a trip!
