So also it is written, "The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam, became a life-giving Spirit. I Corinthians 15:45
Have you ever noticed the interesting contrast between Adam and Jesus Christ? Adam was the first man, and he had it all. God provided everything he needed for life and godliness, yet he wanted more. He listened to his wife and the devil to get more. He had it all, he wanted more, and he lost it all. Jesus Christ had it all, and was willing to take less. He humbled himself to be born in this world and suffered death on a cross all for us. As a result, He was exalted by God and given a name above every name. Adam wanted more and brought judgment to all men. Christ wanted less, and brought righteousness to all men. Who will be our role model? Every Christian has a little of both Adam's in us. Let's choose to be more like Christ.
