There is an additional
illustration to go along with this week's 'Last
Adam and Genesis' illustration: 1 Corinthians 15: 45. Click here to
see an animation of previous
illustrations that this build upto the 'Last Adam and Genesis' illustration.
This illustration
explains the reason Jesus Christ is called the last Adam: it is because
of the events in Genesis concerning the first Adam. Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, became a man because the first head of the entire human race,
Adam (the first Adam) rebelled against his Creator. God sent His Son,
the Lord Jesus Christ, to step into history to become a man to take the
place of the first Adam (in a sense, God 'made' another Adam) to be the
new head.
In dying on a cross, becoming sin for us, and being raised from the dead,
Christ enables any of the descendants of Adam-who put their trust in Him-to
receive the free gift of salvation and therefore spend eternity with their
Creator. It's important to note that if the first man (the first Adam)
is only an allegory, then by all logic so is the last Adam, who is Jesus
Christ. In other words, a correct understanding of why Jesus Christ is
called the last Adam is dependent upon believing the literal history in
Genesis 1-11 concerning the first Adam. As the first Adam was a real man
in history, so the last Adam is a real man (the 'God-man'). This again
emphasizes the fact that the whole Gospel message is dependent upon the
literal events of Genesis 1-11
