In the Testament of old
See th’ acacia wood with gold;
Such humanity behold!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
praise the Lord!
2
Jesus is th’ acacia wood—
What a man, so fine and good!
All corruption He withstood—
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
praise the Lord!
3
Jesus, wisdom of God’s plan,
Son of God and Son of Man;
A new manhood He began—
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
praise the Lord!
4
For since by the one came death,
By this man came living breath;
Man the Lord recovereth—
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
praise the Lord!
5
Types and shadows to us show
Jesus is the man to know.
Now this man in us must grow—
Amen, Lord! Amen, Lord!
Amen, Lord!
6
Lord, may Thy humanity
Permeate us thoroughly,
Drawing many men to Thee—
Amen, Lord! Amen, Lord!
Amen, Lord!

He defeated sin by redemption

and death by resurrection.

First Corinthians 15:22 says, “For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. ” In Adam we were born in death and were born to die; we are dead in him (Eph. 2:1 , 5). As soon as a person is born, he begins to die. Do you realize that throughout the course of your life you have actually been dying? Each year you live is a year deducted from the span of your life. We were not born to grow and live; we were born to die, for in Adam we were born in death.

In 1 Corinthians 15:22 Paul does not just say that in Adam all die, but he goes on to declare that in Christ all will be made alive. In Christ we have been reborn in life and resurrected to live; we have been enlivened, made alive, in Him (Eph. 2:5-6). On the one hand, we are dying; on the other hand, we are living. In Christ we all have been made alive; we have been resurrected to live.
