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 |
| HIS IMPACT |
| Genesis 3 17 And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; 18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” |
| 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– |
Adam’s decision to eat of the fruit brought about an escalating impact upon every descendant of his. The impact of his decision to eat of the fruit is still with us, evident in every child born, every death in nature, every argument and fight we witness or take part in! Jesus’ impact is also with us every day, evident in the new life He provides to those who seek Him, the peacemakers and humble servants He has raised up, those believers who are walking with Him. His impact will be of greater impact than Adam’s for He is the Lord of All.
