Sin is introduced through one man's failure

"By the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life." (Romans 5:18)

 

When Adam rebelled against God, he experienced many new things--things which have haunted mankind ever since. All of these things were experienced by Christ in an intense way as He redeemed fallen mankind and the cursed creation.

 

Adam had never seen or experienced death until he sinned. God had ordained nakedness, but sin distorts everything. Before sin, Adam and Eve had known only blessing, but the universal curse followed. They had known joy and fellowship, but now they knew sorrow and separation. They had lived in a garden, but now the plants would bring forth thorns. Prior to sin they had been assigned work to do, but now they would sweat as they toiled. The angel's weapon kept them from returning to the Garden  and outside violence reigned. Childbearing originally was created to be easy and frequent, but now was to be accompanied by sorrow.

 

Likewise, Christ experienced death on the cross, but by His resurrection He conquered death. In this death He experienced nakedness; the full thrust of the curse; sorrow; and separation from God. Cruel thorns were placed on His head, and He sweat great drops of blood. The soldier's weapon pierced Him, finally ending a series of violent acts. But through His suffering He overcame the curse and redeemed His fallen creation. As a result, many children have been brought forth, children reborn into a glorious state through His suffering.
