1. 0:00Jesus is called
2. 0:01the last Adam. And there is a reason why
3. 0:04the Bible calls him the last Adam. God
4. 0:06is trying to say something to us by
5. 0:07using the term Adam.
6. 0:09>> [music]
7. 0:09>> He's saying there's something Jesus
8. 0:11Christ has in common with Adam.
9. 0:14Now, Jesus was not placed in a garden
10. 0:16with a beautiful woman. They don't have
11. 0:18that in common.
12. 0:20And in fact, in Romans chapter 5, it
13. 0:21makes it clear in what way Jesus is
14. 0:24Adam. [music]
15. 0:25Adam was made the head of a race of
16. 0:28beings.
17. 0:30>> [music]
18. 0:30>> Adam is a father of a a race of beings.
19. 0:34And the relationship of being the head
20. 0:35of these beings affected that race in
21. 0:38such a way that what Adam did
22. 0:40affected all his descendants.
23. 0:43>> [music]
24. 0:44>> In the book of Romans, we are taught
25. 0:46that Jesus is the last Adam in the sense
26. 0:47that what he did
27. 0:50also affects [music]
28. 0:51all his descendants.
29. 0:54So, he's Adam
30. 0:55>> [music]
31. 0:56>> because he's a father of a race of
32. 0:57beings. That's what the word Adam
33. 0:59signify.
