The Firsts of the Bible: Beginnings That Point to Christ

Beginnings carry weight. The first word God spoke was light; the first promise after the first sin was a Saviour; the first death was a murdered brother whose blood cried from the ground. Scripture is full of firsts, and nearly every one finds its answer in Christ, the last Adam, the firstborn from the dead, the firstfruits of them that slept. Each page below opens one first honestly and follows it to Him, in whom all beginnings are made new.
