Christ - From the seed of a woman
I was reading Luther tonight, and he made an amazing point. When God tells of the Redeemer to come in Genesis 3, he says that he will come from the seed of a woman, but not of a man. "And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel." (NKJV). Point? The Seed came not through Adam, which would have submitted him to the curse of sin, but only through the woman. The curse comes through the man, not the woman. So, Christ came through the woman, not the man, so therefore, the Man may be without sin and may conquer death and hell. Gotta run. Put up a comment if this makes no sense and I'll explain further.
