The Last Adam – the Ultimate Sacrifice

On this Palm Sunday Pastor preaches on 1 Cor. 15:45, “The first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.”

A donkey represents peace and servanthood, and that’s what Jesus brought with his triumphal entry into Jerusalem on a donkey. The people who praised him that day shouted for his crucifixion a week later.

God the Father did not die for our sins. Neither did the Holy Spirit. But it was Jesus who came to Earth as a baby, went to the cross a sinless man, and paid the ultimate price for the sins of all mankind.

What the first Adam failed at, the last Adam was victorious.

The Second Temple Cleansing

Jesus makes His triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

Three years have past since Jesus first cleansed the temple. But no reformation has occurred, and He must cleanse it again before going to the cross.

Pastor Gray declares what was declared on that day: Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords.
