Jesus is called the second Adam.
All of mankind fell under the judgement of God for Adams sin.
Adam and Eve both died spiritually when they chose to obey satans suggestions rather than God's command. It is impossible for LIVE children to come out of DEAD parents...
Also Corrupt Headship can bring judgement upon entire nations and families:
Joshua 7:1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.
Read this chapter for an example.. Achan's sin caused Israel to lose the lives of many in battle and they found out that Achan had sinned when God judged them all !!
In the end Israel Killed this man and all of his family.
Adam brought down judgement on all of us and we all died in him !
No one is born innocent. That cute little baby that every one loves is a SINNER !
Now this part you need to be VERY careful how you hear !
Adams sin is IMPUTED to us. Our sin is IMPUTED to Christ. Christ died as a REAL sinner paying the death penalty for sin. Problem was none of that REAL SIN was committed by himself. That is why it was impossible for death to hold him. HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS is imputed to the Elect.
Who does the Bible say put Christ to death.... THE FATHER !
Isaiah 53:10 ¶ Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
Isaiah records that Jesus was Smitten of GOD !!
How is that for a mystery... What was the greatest Crime ever committed if not the Murder of the only innocent man to have ever lived. But Jesus did not die as a innocent man He died with our imputed sin upon him as a GUILTY MAN.
We as sinners murdered Jesus God as God executed Him !
It was the MOST loving and Righteous Act the world has ever seen !
Not that is a mystery that was not concieved of the human mind.
Psalms 22:1 <<To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.>> My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Words of Christ 750 years before the event !
