The iniation of redemption in the Garden of Eden

The birth of Christ was the initiation of God's plan that will ultimately led to his death which will bring about Man's redemption via his death[Christ] thus, Christmas shows us how much God,the father, loves us.
'let us make man in our own image'. they say to all things have a purpose here, we see the purpose of creation man was based on love hence, he was created in HI image and likeness.
God's fellow shipping with man in the evening shows love and companionship.
giving Man dominion over all other creatures shows delegation of authority.
God's tripartite blessings of multiplication,fruitfulness and replenishment as stated in genesis 1:28 shows divine approval.
God commanded Adam to eat all in the garden shows freedom in the mist of abundance.
Asking Man to dress the garden shows that Man is to exploit the talents,and innate gift deposited in Man, his imagination and conceptual powers for the betterment of the world he lives in: Man was to enjoy work with all pleasure and not labor under a curse.
Man's fall was not a shock to God's omniscience and thus HE went ahead to make a provision of redemption right there and then[ via the seed of the woman's; for the savior will come not through the will of any man through carnal knowledge of a man and a woman,that is why the seed is called the 'seed of the woman' for no woman carries a seed, but a man. this was an exceptional case that shows the divine nature of Jesus our lord.
The provision of God's own son was a just counter weight the Devil gave Adam ,but this counter weight was severe, it twas his head that was bruised.
God in His rigorousness could not fellowship with a fallen man till another Adam was made to pay the price.
based on the above,God could not fellowship with man as before till a secondary solution was found in the slaying of bulls via the priests appointed [the house of Levi] even then, the priest had to be very careful not to pass away with the slain bulls.it was so till the perfect timing of God came to pass and Jesus Christ, his son was made into flesh and blood, dwelt amongst us and was tempted in every way like Adam. He passed the test without one sin and thus qualified to be the perfect and ultimate final sacrifice.
As the forerunner saw him, John the baptist, he proclaimed to the whole world"This is the lamp of God that takes away the sins of the world'.
Despite the pomp associated with Christmas His death in Easter is much more important
for death to occur, there must first be birth. This is where Christmas came in.

Exodus 12:38 ** And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.                            Numbers 11:4-6 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlicky: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.

The Blood of Jesus

  The blood is one of the most important part of the human body system; it is like an engine oil to a car. If there is no engine oil in an automobile powered by engine the car will not only stop, but the engine is broken which professionals call ‘knock’. Blood! so important in religious circle; indeed there is no religion that does not talk about blood, especially, Christianity and the Judaism. Healthwise, most patients needs blood infusion to recover. Medically, blood  is grouped into four : O, A, B, AB These groups all have their origins and meanings, each blood type contains the genetic message of our ancestors’ diets and behaviors, and though weare a long way from early history, many of their traits still affect us.
