The first Adam took down with him the entire human race into condemnation. When he disobeyed, he and we all ended up separated from our Source and in turn lost the Kingdom (rulership) and kingship (dominion). On the other hand, the last Adam- Jesus, demonstrated unwavering obedience to the Father and as a result He was authorized to pick Himself from hell and together with Him all of us. Thanks to Him. We are picked from the deepest pit of death and desperation.

The obedient One became the first ‘man’ to enter and stand in the presence of the Holy One since the first Adam was kicked out due to disobedience. The first Adam before fall had a chance to stand before the Holy One on a daily basis and enjoyed constant fellowship with God. Because of disobedience, however, he was separated from God. Heaven cannot and won’t entertain disobedience and disorder. The father of lies and disobedience- the devil was kicked out the same way because He caused chaos.

The first Adam’s act of disobedience also caused the entire race to live under the oppression of the author of death, the devil, for centuries.
For centuries, humanity was hopeless. Deep inside, nonetheless, it had craved to go back to the Kingdom to fellowship with the Source, the Father. But, no one knew the way back to the Kingdom. No one was worthy to satisfy the price it took to reunite the Holy One with the fallen humanity.
Of course, untill, the last Adam penetrated the physical universe and became one of us as promised.

Humanity had been in deepest darkness till the bright light showed up in flesh in their midst. Jesus revealed the Father and shared the love and desire the Father had to reunite with His kids. The last Adam was knowledgeable about how to get back to the bosom of the Father. He was also worthy and obedient enough to pay the price to reunite us with the Father.

Jesus’ resurrection and ascension was symbolic. It signifies that we all are redeemed and restored to the Kingdom we once lost.

Today reminds us the might and glory of Jesus, our Hero. Except our Savior no one ever beat death like He did. He embarrassed It as It had been embarrassing the human race for generations by getting up after three days. Jesus willingly gave up His spirit and picked it up! No one went condemned into hell and came out victorious except Him.

His resurrection is not just a good news spiritually. Yes, Easter signifies that we are redeemed and restored to our former glory before the fall of the first Adam. Sunday also signifies that whatever has been tormenting you and I, it has expiry date. Whatever looks like dead in our life, profession, and business is resurrected!
