夏娃的名字没有出现在马太或路加的家谱上。但在我们默想神赐下救主的应许时，将她考虑进来是很重要的。夏娃受了蛇（撒旦）的诱惑，不顺服神，亚当也是。罪破坏了夏娃和她丈夫的关系，也影响了她的生育。然而，她还是有盼望的。
创世记3:15包含了常被称为第一个有关福音的应许。神应许说，夏娃的一个后裔将粉碎撒旦和这世上罪的权势——然而，这个后裔在此过程中将会受伤。
当夏娃生下第一个儿子，她或许以为这个孩子就是所应许的那位胜过罪的人。她给他起名叫该隐，说：“耶和华使我得了一个男子”（创4:1）。但该隐并不是所应许的那一位。该隐杀了他的兄弟，使事情变得更糟了（创4:8）。
许多世代以后，另一个女人——马利亚——生了一个儿子，他名叫耶稣，因为祂要“把自己的百姓从罪恶里救出来”（太1:21）。祂是神的儿子，也是人子，祂要藉着死在十字架上来拯救我们，“除灭魔鬼的作为”。这场争战直到耶稣再来才能结束（启20:11-21:8）。当战胜罪恶的战役完成时，那将是多么美好的一天啊！
赐恩典和平安的神啊，感谢你不断地工作，使救主耶稣把撒旦践踏在祂的脚下。感谢你，主耶稣，有一天你将完全战胜罪恶。阿们。
创世记 3:13-16
13耶和华神对女人说：“你做的是什么事呢？”女人说：“那蛇引诱我，我就吃了。”
14耶和华神对蛇说：“你既做了这事，就必受咒诅，比一切的牲畜野兽更甚！你必用肚子行走，终身吃土。
15我又要叫你和女人彼此为仇，你的后裔和女人的后裔也彼此为仇，女人的后裔要伤你的头，你要伤他的脚跟。”
16又对女人说：“我必多多加增你怀胎的苦楚，你生产儿女必多受苦楚。你必恋慕你丈夫，你丈夫必管辖你。”
"The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work." - 1 John 3:8
Eve’s name is not mentioned in Matthew or Luke’s genealogy. But it’s important to include her as we reflect on God’s promise to bring the Savior. Having been tempted by the serpent (Satan), Eve disobeyed God, and so did Adam. Sin damaged Eve’s relationship to her husband and her childbearing. Yet there is hope.
Genesis 3:15 includes what is often called the first gospel promise. God promised that one of Eve’s offspring would crush Satan and the power of sin in this world—and yet the offspring would be wounded in the process.
When Eve gave birth to her first son, she may have thought this child would be the promised victor over sin. She named him Cain, saying, “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man” (Genesis 4:1). But Cain was not the promised one. Cain only made things worse by murdering his brother (Genesis 4:8).
Many generations later, another woman—Mary—gave birth to a son, and he was named Jesus because he would “save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). He, the Son of God and Son of Man, came “to destroy the devil’s work” by dying on the cross to save us. That battle will not be over until Jesus comes again (Revelation 20:11-21:8). What a day that will be when the victory over sin will be complete!
God of grace and peace, thank you for continually working to bring the Savior, Jesus, to crush Satan under his feet. Thank you, Lord Jesus, that one day your victory over sin will be complete. Amen.
