Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. (Genesis 3:16-19) "Thorns also" 1/ The curse and it's cause . 2/ Symptoms of the curse . 3/ Symptoms of it's removal . Sermon Summary The sermon explores the concept of the curse and its removal, using the phrase "thorns also" from Genesis 3:18 as a central point of reflection. It examines the symptoms of the curse—pain in childbirth, labour in the fields, and the decay of creation—linking them to the broken law and eternal consequences. However, the sermon emphasizes that these symptoms are not the ultimate reality but rather indicators of a deeper malady. Ultimately, it highlights the Lord Jesus Christ as the ultimate removal of the curse, pointing to His suffering and sacrifice as the definitive cure, and encouraging listeners to recognize the spiritual blessings and evidence of salvation in their own lives; the symptoms of the removal of the curse through grace.
