Today... 'The Last Adam' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'The Last Adam'



As a life giving Spirit
the Second Adam came.
So that we could inherit
He took on all the blame.

For it was written of old
God would come in the flesh
and by the prophets foretold
Jesus our Righteousness.

For unlike Adam the first,
this last Adam would win
and through the grave He burst
victor over death and sin.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
1 Corinthians 15: 44-46
it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So it is written: 'The first man Adam became a living being'; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.46The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting a glorious
aspect of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Last Adam'
