             In the history of redemption, who have been channels for the
             greatest blessings in the church world?  It’s been those who
             have come back to Bethlehem.  It’s those who have most known
             Him.  It’s those who have walked in an unbroken union with
             Him.  It’s those who have known for sure that He has dealt with
             everything that stood in the way and, like Ruth, have become
             an oasis in the desert in this dark and immoral world.  Those are
             the ones that produce fruit in the Christian life.  God creates in
             them and out of them, the Life and character of Christ, an oasis
             in the desert, and the world is blessed.

             l   THE EXCHANGED LIFE IS ILLUSTRATED AND
                  DEMONSTRATED BY TWO TITLES OF JESUS
                    A.  THE LAST ADAM (ROMANS 5:14; 1
                       CORINTHIANS 15:45)
                    B.  THE SECOND MAN (1 CORINTHIANS 15:47)

             ll   CHRIST AS THE LAST ADAM

                    A.   WHAT IS MEANT BY “THE IMAGE OF
                        GOD”?

                           1.  MAN IS CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD
                               (GENESIS 1:26-27)
                           2.  THE IMAGE OF GOD IS CHRIST HIMSELF
                               ( 2 CORINTHIANS 4:3-4; COLOSSIANS 1:15
                               HEBREWS 1:3)
