1. The Fall of Man (Genesis 3): This story explains how evil entered the world when Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The serpent deceived them, and they were tempted by the fruit. As a result, sin entered the world, and humanity has been dealing with the consequences ever since.
2. Cain and Abel (Genesis 4): This story tells of the first recorded murder in history. Cain was jealous of his brother Abel, and in a fit of rage, he killed him. This story illustrates the destructive power of jealousy and envy and the consequences of giving in to those emotions.
3. The Ten Plagues (Exodus 7-12): In this story, God sends ten plagues upon the Egyptians as punishment for their enslavement of the Israelites. These plagues are powerful examples of God’s power and justice against evil actions.
4. The Crucifixion of Jesus (Matthew 27): This story illustrates the ultimate example of evil. Jesus, who was completely innocent, was sentenced to death by crucifixion by a corrupt government and an angry mob. However, God used this evil act to bring salvation to the world, as Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead to give us new life.
