The last Adam is the fountain of life; not, like the first Adam, a vessel made to contain it. the " I am," the One who could communicate a new nature, as a life-giving Spirit. There was a glory in the first, standing in innocence in Eden; but what was that compared with the glory of the second-the life-giving Spirit, standing at the grave of Lazarus with the word, " I am the resurrection and the life?" When does the glory of the " I AM " begin? When He created the world? No! it never had a beginning. One cannot have a correct thought about Him, save as Lord; cannot begin with Him, save as in Phil. 2, the object of all God's delight, and of the worship of heaven.
