Jesus in the Old Testament is a series of posts that will offer my readers a chance to consider pictures or shadows of Jesus in the Old Testament. As mentioned in the introduction to this series, some may be obvious, some may be not so obvious, and some may simply be a facet of the Lord those reading may not have considered previously.
I hope as we venture through this series, we will see the Lord in many wonderful pictures throughout the Old Testament.

| ADAM |
| HEAD OF CREATION |
| Genesis 2 7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. |
| Romans 5 12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned– |
Moses describes the creation of Adam and His placing Him in the garden to work it and to keep it. He was created as the crowning centerpiece of all creation! Paul, in the New Testament speaks of Adam as the representative head of creation, and as the head of creation, due to his disobedience to the Father, death spread to all of creation.
Jesus has established a new creation, and within that new creation, through His obedience to the Father, life spreads to all.
