Heavenly Man - 1 Cor. 15:49

1/29/2021

0 Comments

 

In 1 Cor. 15:49, Paul refers to Jesus as the "heavenly man" compared to the "first Adam." 

The idea of the "heavenly man" was not new to the Jews of the first century. In fact, we see this term used in the writings of Philo of Alexandria who was a Jewish philosopher
(20 BC - 50 AD). 

The "heavenly man" is derived from a mystical vision that Ezekiel records in Ezekiel 1.

Ezekiel sees the figure of a man sitting on a throne in heaven that is the fullness of the glory of God (Ezekiel 1: 26-28).  The "heavenly man" is, therefore, a king. 

Philo also calls this heavenly man - the Word (Greek Logos). 

In this lesson, we will explore how both Paul and John use these terms to refer to Jesus and how it pertains to our spiritual growth as we transform into His likeness.
