The Person and Work of Christ

Most Christians understand the importance of Christ’s atoning sacrifice and the significance of his resurrection. But how many comprehend the significance of the life Jesus led prior to the crowning weeks of the passion? In this course, R.C. Sproul uncovers what it means for Christ to be the “second Adam”—and what this means for believers today.

About this course

When Jesus approached John the Baptist to be baptized, John initially objected. But Jesus responded by saying that it was necessary “to fulfill all righteousness.” (Matt. 3:15) Why was this act—and others like it—so important? Most Christians understand the importance of Christ’s atoning sacrifice and the significance of his resurrection. But how many comprehend the significance of the life Jesus led prior to the crowning weeks of the passion? In this course, R.C. Sproul uncovers what it means for Christ to be the “second Adam”—and what this means for believers today.
