1
00:00:00,161 --> 00:00:06,453
Adam is a type - 
a foreshadow - of Jesus Christ.

2
00:00:06,453 --> 00:00:08,835
Like in the hymn we sing at Christmastime,

3
00:00:08,835 --> 00:00:11,347
"Hark, the herald angels sing..."

4
00:00:11,347 --> 00:00:14,324
It refers to Christ there 
as the second Adam -

5
00:00:14,324 --> 00:00:17,293
the second Adam from above.

6
00:00:17,293 --> 00:00:18,783
Listen to this.

7
00:00:18,783 --> 00:00:21,484
Listen to the contrast and comparisons

8
00:00:21,484 --> 00:00:22,904
between the first Adam

9
00:00:22,904 --> 00:00:26,015
whom God created in the Garden of Eden -

10
00:00:26,015 --> 00:00:29,214
the first man who was a foreshadow

11
00:00:29,214 --> 00:00:31,841
of the second Adam or the last Man,

12
00:00:31,841 --> 00:00:34,334
the Lord Jesus Christ.

13
00:00:34,334 --> 00:00:38,084
Listen to the contrast 
and comparisons here.

14
00:00:38,084 --> 00:00:40,533
The first Adam was created

15
00:00:40,533 --> 00:00:43,313
in the image and the likeness of God,

16
00:00:43,313 --> 00:00:45,475
whereas the last Adam - Jesus Christ -

17
00:00:45,475 --> 00:00:49,097
is the image of the invisible God.

18
00:00:49,097 --> 00:00:51,874
The first Adam rebelled in the garden

19
00:00:51,874 --> 00:00:54,517
and puts himself in the place of God,

20
00:00:54,517 --> 00:00:56,893
whereas the second Adam - Jesus Christ -

21
00:00:56,893 --> 00:00:59,266
was God, but in order to save us,

22
00:00:59,266 --> 00:01:03,016
He puts Himself in the place of man.

23
00:01:03,016 --> 00:01:06,304
The first Adam, before he fell,

24
00:01:06,304 --> 00:01:09,224
he did not toil nor sweat.

25
00:01:09,224 --> 00:01:11,624
Then, toil and sweat were given to him

26
00:01:11,624 --> 00:01:14,605
as part of the judgment for sin.

27
00:01:14,605 --> 00:01:16,695
Whereas the second Adam - Jesus Christ -

28
00:01:16,695 --> 00:01:18,885
in the Garden of Gethsemane,

29
00:01:18,885 --> 00:01:21,333
He labored and toiled for us in prayer

30
00:01:21,333 --> 00:01:25,604
and sweat great drops of blood.

31
00:01:25,604 --> 00:01:28,444
The first Adam was given thorns

32
00:01:28,444 --> 00:01:30,415
as part of the curse.

33
00:01:30,415 --> 00:01:32,654
The second Adam - Jesus Christ -

34
00:01:32,654 --> 00:01:37,084
wore a crown of thorns bearing our curse.

35
00:01:37,084 --> 00:01:39,394
The first Adam in the garden

36
00:01:39,394 --> 00:01:41,538
sinned at a tree.

37
00:01:41,538 --> 00:01:43,333
Jesus Christ, the second Adam,

38
00:01:43,333 --> 00:01:46,025
He bore our sins hanging upon a tree -

39
00:01:46,025 --> 00:01:49,394
upon the wood of the cross.

40
00:01:49,394 --> 00:01:53,023
The first Adam was naked and not ashamed.

41
00:01:53,023 --> 00:01:54,683
The second Adam - Jesus Christ -

42
00:01:54,683 --> 00:01:58,684
was naked on the cross and bore our shame.

43
00:01:58,684 --> 00:02:03,243
The first Adam was looking 
for a bride suitable for him.

44
00:02:03,243 --> 00:02:04,903
The second Adam - Jesus Christ -

45
00:02:04,903 --> 00:02:06,934
has come seeking His bride -

46
00:02:06,934 --> 00:02:09,494
the believers, you.

47
00:02:09,494 --> 00:02:11,404
The first Adam died

48
00:02:11,404 --> 00:02:14,325
because he was a guilty sinner.

49
00:02:14,325 --> 00:02:15,964
The second Adam - Jesus Christ -

50
00:02:15,964 --> 00:02:22,404
died for and on behalf of guilty sinners.

51
00:02:22,404 --> 00:02:24,553
To create the bride of the first Adam,

52
00:02:24,553 --> 00:02:26,873
his side was opened.

53
00:02:26,873 --> 00:02:30,154
To create the bride - us the believers

54
00:02:30,154 --> 00:02:32,053
of the second Adam -

55
00:02:32,053 --> 00:02:35,253
He was pierced in His side.

56
00:02:35,253 --> 00:02:37,793
Listen to this one.

57
00:02:37,793 --> 00:02:41,304
The first Adam was a gardener.

58
00:02:41,304 --> 00:02:42,643
When Mary went to the tomb

59
00:02:42,643 --> 00:02:44,174
after the resurrection,

60
00:02:44,174 --> 00:02:46,048
she mistook the second Adam -

61
00:02:46,048 --> 00:02:49,914
Jesus Christ - as the gardener.

62
00:02:49,914 --> 00:02:54,444
You can't make this up.

63
00:02:54,444 --> 00:02:56,474
God put Adam to sleep

64
00:02:56,474 --> 00:02:59,324
in order to create his bride.

65
00:02:59,324 --> 00:03:02,794
In order to create the 
bride of His redeemed,

66
00:03:02,794 --> 00:03:04,563
of the second Adam - Jesus Christ -

67
00:03:04,563 --> 00:03:07,823
God put Him to the sleep of death.

68
00:03:07,823 --> 00:03:12,814
In the garden, God 
brought to Adam his wife.

69
00:03:12,814 --> 00:03:16,565
God gives the believers to 
the second Adam - Jesus Christ.

70
00:03:16,565 --> 00:03:20,050
"All that the Father gives 
Me will come to Me."

71
00:03:20,050 --> 00:03:24,264
The first Adam gave his 
bride a commandment.

72
00:03:24,264 --> 00:03:25,974
"You shall not eat of the tree

73
00:03:25,974 --> 00:03:27,684
of the knowledge of good and evil,

74
00:03:27,684 --> 00:03:30,093
nor touch it, lest you die."

75
00:03:30,093 --> 00:03:31,493
Christ - the second Adam -

76
00:03:31,493 --> 00:03:33,395
gave His bride, His church,

77
00:03:33,395 --> 00:03:35,254
a new commandment.

78
00:03:35,254 --> 00:03:39,046
"Love one another as I have loved you."

79
00:03:39,046 --> 00:03:44,472
Both Adam and Christ are 
representative heads of two people.

80
00:03:44,472 --> 00:03:46,472
You see, when Adam acted,

81
00:03:46,472 --> 00:03:48,396
he acted before God on behalf

82
00:03:48,396 --> 00:03:50,804
of the people he represented -

83
00:03:50,804 --> 00:03:51,813
the human race.

84
00:03:51,813 --> 00:03:53,752
All those who are born of the flesh

85
00:03:53,752 --> 00:03:56,114
by physical birth.

86
00:03:56,114 --> 00:03:58,392
When Christ, the second Adam, acted,

87
00:03:58,392 --> 00:04:00,824
He acted on behalf of His people -

88
00:04:00,824 --> 00:04:02,044
the believers -

89
00:04:02,044 --> 00:04:07,093
those who are born spiritually.

90
00:04:07,093 --> 00:04:10,312
You can just go on and on and on

91
00:04:10,312 --> 00:04:11,954
to show how Christ fulfilled

92
00:04:11,954 --> 00:04:15,422
the prophetic writings 
of the Old Testament.

93
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:17,373
This is why He said to them,

94
00:04:17,373 --> 00:04:20,283
"You believe Moses. He wrote of Me."
