In order to get out of the perfect mess of our sin, we need a perfect man, Jesus. In Romans 5:12-21, Paul contrasts two seminal figures, Adam, whose sin contagiously spread throughout all humanity and Jesus, the Second Adam, whose act of righteousness made redemption possible. Paul demonstrates the truth of Calvin's statement that "...Christ is much more powerful to save than Adam was to ruin."

- Series Intro: Vacation is a time when you spend lots of time with your family… especially when you drive 1400 miles there and 1400 miles back. When you do that much talking, it is inevitable that some debates and arguments will arrive. Cindy and I clashed over an important issue… whether or not we would watch the new Ben Hur movie when we got home. Her argument… why not… especially since it’s free for us on Amazon Prime. My argument… why, when the original 1959 movie was perfect. 60 years later we have superior equipment and special effects. We tend to assume that we are moving towards perfection. But are we? 2000 years in our past the perfection of God entered into an imperfect world. Jesus came as the perfect man, the perfect redeemer, the perfect substitute and the perfect mediator. We find perfection in the past, and it is that perfection which offers the hope of a perfect destiny.

- First Point Apart from Jesus, we find ourselves in a perfect mess! Romans 5 12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
- In 2003, a young boy from Thailand, Captain Boonmanuch, scooped up a squawking chicken and carried it to his uncle’s house. Shortly thereafter he contracted the “bird flu” and died. There have since been over 800 cases of bird flu. In 2009 Edgar Hernandez of La Gloria, Mexico, was playing with a pig and became the first documented case of a major Swine Flu epidemic. Edgar survived. In 2013 a bat infested tree caught fire creating a spectacle of swarming bats that intrigued the young children of a town in Guinea. Two year old Emile was infected and has been identified as patient zero in a significant Ebola outbreak that within the next month claimed the life of his sister and grandmother. These three are all identified as patient zero, the human point of origin of a deadly epidemic. The Apostle Paul describes Adam as the “Patient Zero” of the deadly and highly contagious disease of sin.

- Third Point God’s perfect gift is the contagious gift of grace. Romans 5 18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. 20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
