Burden to Impart:

n this lesson we see how God created the very last item, a woman, in the most special way. The woman, Eve, was not made from lifeless mud, like Adam was. She was made from a living rib taken out of Adam's flesh. She was a perfect match for Adam. There were now two human beings on the earth, one male (Adam)and one female (Eve). Like two halves of a watermelon, when put together they were really just one whole.

Memory Verse:	"And the rib, which the Lord had taken from man.. made He a woman and brought her unto the man" (Genesis 2:22).
Facts to Teach:	(Sripture reading: Gen. 2:18-24)

2. God's creation of Eve was the most special of all.
   1. God saw that Adam was alone on the earth. There was no human companion for him.
   2. God wanted Adam to realize his need for a companion so He brought all the animals before him, had him look at each one, and then give it a name. After seei g all the animals on the earth and naming them, Adam realized that there was nonelike him! He was all alone!
   3. Then God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam (like in the hospital when someone has surgery). While Adam slept, God took one of his ribs out. God somehow usezl Adam's rib as the material to make the last item of His creation, the most special one, a woman. She was bone of Adam's bone, flesh of his flesh.
   4. Eve matched Adam; She was a human, so was he. The only difference was that he was a male and she was a female. They belonged together. By themselves, they were like half a watermelon. Together, they were like a complete watermelon. They matched each other and were happy together.
