Since By ManT

 

Therefore, since sin entered the world by one man,

And death through sin,

In this way death came to all men, for all have sinned.

Romans 5:12

When I was a teenager in Phoenix, participating in the Messiah rehearsals for our local community choir, one of my favorite choruses was Since by Man Came Death, based on this scripture from Romans.  The piece is very short, compared with many of the other choruses, but packs a powerful message.  

Since by man came death,

By man came also the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die,

Even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Our legacy from Adam and Eve is sin and death.  Our birthright through Jesus Christ is eternal life.  Which one we receive is our choice – a choice we make daily.
