The very first promise of redemption comes immediately after the Fall of Adam and Even in the Garden. There God declares that the “seed of the woman” would “bruise the head of the serpent” (Genesis 3:16). In the earliest churches, this great promise was artistically represented by mosaics of dragons on floors—upon which everyone in the congregation could step and jump and stomp. We don’t have a mosaic in our foyer (yet), but we do have a wonderful red carpet inscribed with a Celtic dragon image. So on this Resurrection Sunday morn, go ahead: join with the saints across the ages who have followed after Christus Victor in crushing the head of the serpent! — Pastor George Grant
