v3: what a tremendous blessing to be promised redemption! He must have exhibited great faith in order to receive this on his father's deathbed.
v6: talks about how the redemption in v3 comes about...only through Christ.
v13-30: Happiness. Would not exist without opposition. We need to know misery in order to know happiness. We should come to appreciate the difficulties in life as they provide a venue for us to be able to feel greater happiness and joy. Adam fell that men might be: placed into a situation of opposition. Men are that they might have joy: with that opposition we are able to feel joy. Through Christ we are able to feel joy after sinning. I wonder if I would ever truly love summers if it wasn't for the long, cold winters.
