The story of Adam and Eve is not just about the first man and woman... there is a true and better Adam who passed the test in the garden and whose obedience is ascribed to us. There is a true and better Abel who, though innocently slain, has blood that cries out, not for our condemnation, but for our acquittal. There is a true and better Abraham who answered the call of God to leave all the comfortable and familiar and go out into the void to create a new people of God. There is a true and better Isaac, the son of laughter, of grace, who was not just offered up by his father on the mount but was truly sacrificed for us all. There is a true and better Jacob who wrestled and took the blow of justice we deserved, so we, like Jacob, only receive the wounds of grace that wake us up and discipline us. There is a true and better Joseph who, at the right hand of the king, forgives those who betrayed and sold him and uses his new power to save them. There is a true and better Moses who stands in the gap between the people and the Lord and who mediates a new covenant. There is a true and better Rock of Moses who, struck with the rod of God\u2019s justice, now gives us water in the desert. There is a true and better Job, the truly innocent sufferer, who then intercedes for and saves his foolish friends. There is a true and better David whose victory becomes his people\u2019s victory, though they never lifted a stone to accomplish it themselves. There is a true and better Esther who didn\u2019t just risk losing an earthly palace but lost the ultimate heavenly one, who didn\u2019t just risk his life, but gave his life to save his people. There is a true and better Jonah who was cast out into the storm so that we could be brought in. There is a true and better Passover Lamb, innocent, perfect, helpless, slain so the angel of death will pass over us. He\u2019s the true temple, the true prophet, the true priest, the true king, the true sacrifice, the true lamb, the true light, and the true bread. The bible is not a series of disconnected stories. It is a single narrative that points to one person... Jesus.\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:420px;margin:5px;\"><\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/jesuscentred.org\/e\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/True_better.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-full wp-image-908 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/jesuscentred.org\/e\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/True_better.jpg\" alt=\"True_better\" width=\"197\" height=\"147\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-16 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/jesuscentred\" style=\"font-size: 0px; width:16px;height:16px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;\"><img alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" style=\"display: inline; width:16px;height:16px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; box-shadow: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/jesuscentred.org\/e\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/32x32\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><br\/><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-16 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fjesuscentred.org%2Fe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F904&#038;t=True%20and%20Better&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fjesuscentred.org%2Fe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F904&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fjesuscentred.org%2Fe%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F08%2FTrue_better.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=True%20and%20Better\" style=\"font-size: 0px; width:16px;height:16px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px;\"><img alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" style=\"display: inline; width:16px;height:16px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; box-shadow: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/jesuscentred.org\/e\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/32x32\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-16 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=True%20and%20Better&#038;body=You%20will%20find%20this%20very%20interesting:%20https%3A%2F%2Fjesuscentred.org%2Fe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F904\" style=\"font-size: 0px; width:16px;height:16px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;\"><img alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" style=\"display: inline; width:16px;height:16px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; box-shadow: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/jesuscentred.org\/e\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/32x32\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a great video by Dan Stevers.
