TOPIC: Making Things Right
And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. – 1 Corinthians 15:45
Recommended Reading: Matthew 8:23-27
There are no more welcome words in the midst of a conflicted relationship than these: “I’d like to make things right between us.” In a general sense, that is the story of the Bible as illustrated in 1 Corinthians 15:45: the comparison of the first Adam with the last Adam.
The first Adam was created as a “living being,” but he lost his life spiritually and physically when he sinned. The last Adam—Jesus Christ—came to restore that lost life. He was a picture of what mankind should be like; He was the true Son of Man. His disciples and the public had never seen a man like Jesus, a man not marred by sin.
When He performed miracles, like calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee, His disciples exclaimed, “What kind of man is this?” (Matthew 8:27, NIV) We see in Christ what God created mankind to be. We also see that it is the likeness of Christ to which God is shaping those who belong to Him (Romans 8:29).
Is everything right between you and God? It can be when you yield your life to Christ.
Sanctification is the progressive restoration of a man’s rationality so that he becomes a man.
