Promise Given to; Promise Fulfilled Through

Two great matriarchs of scripture, the mother of Christ and the mother of us all. Both standing on either end of a promise holding on tightly. The dark gulf between them is the long wait, the golden cord stretching through that gulf is the promise of the messiah to come. Eve feels the weight of her sin but still holds tight to the promise of a savior. Mary leaps for joy seeing that promise she holds tightly fulfilled through her.
