The Man

For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. I Corinthians 15:21-23
Paul goes to great pains on a few occasions to remind us that Christ became a man.  In order to be our perfect substitute, He came to experience all that we do, including temptation, troubling people and glue stuck to His sandals - in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.  This qualified Him to "undo" what Adam had done, what we all have done.  He is our best, only and glorious hope!
