Adam, the Last

Adam, the Last.

In contrast to the first man, Adam, who was made a living soul, the last Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ, was a life-giving Spirit:the first was natural; the second spiritual:the first man was of the earth, earthy; the second Man was out of heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:45-47. Everything committed to man having failed in Adam, Christ as last Adam becomes the head of a new and redeemed race. He is the last Adam because there will be no other:every man must come under one of these two headships:the first Adam, man; or the last Adam, Christ:cf. 1 Corinthians 15:22; Psalms 8:3-9; Hebrews 2:6-9.
