Paul’s description of Adam’s sin and Christ’s obedience helped frame our discussion of WLC 22–27 this morning as we dove into the bad news of Adam’s sin and its devastating effects, trying to bear in mind as we did so how the one man’s obedience is not like the trespass, for Christ’s obedience is able to undue all the damage Adam’s sin has wrought. Along the way we considered how sin touches every aspect of what it means to be human, how this helps us make sense of the world as we experience it, and how this relates to the importance of affirming the full and complete humanity of Christ, bearing in mind Gregory of Nazianzus’s phrase, “That which is not taken up is not healed.”
