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.

| TOOK HIS WIFE’S SIN UPON HIMSELF |
| Genesis 3 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. |
| 1 Peter 2 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. |
Adam took the fruit from his wife, from his wife who had already fallen into death. I often wonder if Adam recognized death in Eve as he took the fruit, and joined her in her sin. We know that the Messiah recognized sin in His bride, and not only joined us in death, but was delivered, resurrected out of death and is bringing His wife out of the death we wallow in!
