Second Adam
Have you ever thought much about the similarities between the Garden of Eden and the Temple in Jerusalem? There are several-- and what's more, there are some remarakble things that Jesus, the Ultimate High Priest, accomplished in order to reverse what happened in the Garden. As we look deeply into the Book of Hebrews in the weeks leading up to Christ the King Sunday, we discover in this passage that Jesus is the Second Adam, serving in a "temple not made by human hands", much like that Garden in the long ago.
