When Adam and Eve sinned, God cursed humankind and the whole earth along with it. Their sin begat death and every other curse. When Jesus came, he came to redeem and restore all things. He came to make all things new (not all new things!). While our hope is sure that Jesus will do this completely at the end, already now (and then), we see Jesus go after the curse of sin in tangible, life-healing ways. Mark 1:29-24
