In the second creation story, as contained in Genesis chapter 2, the narrative begins by stating that after God had created the heavens and the earth, He formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, making him a living being. God then planted a garden in Eden and placed the man in it, giving him the responsibility to work it and take care of it.
God also commanded the man, stating that he could eat from any tree in the garden except for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If he were to eat from that tree, he would surely die. God then noticed that it was not good for the man to be alone, so He decided to make a helper suitable for him.
God brought all the animals to the man, and he named them all, but none of them were found to be a suitable helper. So, God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was asleep, He took one of his ribs and made it into a woman. When the man woke up and saw the woman, he recognized her as his own flesh and bone, and they became one flesh.

Prophet Hosea’s marital experience is a significant aspect of his prophetic ministry. According to the Bible, Hosea was instructed by God to marry a woman named Gomer, who later became unfaithful to him, symbolizing the unfaithfulness of Israel towards God.
Hosea’s marriage to Gomer represented the relationship between God and Israel, with Hosea embodying God’s faithfulness despite Israel’s spiritual adultery. Despite Gomer’s infidelity, Hosea continued to love her and even redeemed her from a situation of slavery, reflecting God’s unconditional love and forgiveness for Israel.
Through this personal experience, Hosea conveyed God’s message of love, mercy, and the consequences of unfaithfulness. His marital life served as a powerful illustration of God’s enduring love for His people, despite their waywardness and unfaithfulness.

In the Bible, Matthew, also known as Levi, was a tax collector. Tax collectors were generally despised by the Jewish people because they worked for the Roman Empire and often collected more money than required, pocketing the extra for themselves. One day, Jesus saw Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth and said to him, “Follow me.” Matthew immediately got up and followed Jesus.
Afterwards, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his house for a meal. Many other tax collectors and sinners also joined them. This caused the Pharisees, who were religious leaders, to criticize Jesus for associating with such people. Jesus responded by saying, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
