What if the sin of Adam had caused mankind to break the law of gravity? Instead of losing the ability to naturally follow God’s moral law, suddenly he and Eve would float around, grasping at tree-tops to stay on the earth. Making for themselves ropes out of fig vines to tie themselves to the ground and to each other. The ten words that God gave to Moses would describe which way was actually up and which way was truly down, ten ways for mankind to get their bearings. A complete description of what gravity is, for a race of people who could no longer obey it naturally or understand its purpose.
Jesus would have come to earth to restore their relationship with the Father, living His life with both feet on the ground, to the astonishment of all. (It’s a MIRACLE … He can WALK ON DIRT!) Leaving everyone with the hope that someday He would come again, and return them to the promised land.
In the centuries that follow all of the Christians would float around arguing about how much of a “downer” gravity is, even though Jesus didn’t come to abolish gravity but to fulfill it.
The hope is not that in Jesus everyone will float around breaking the law of gravity, but that in Jesus they will once again feel gravity’s pull naturally.
