My name is Chris Fluitt and we are in the 3rd week of our series called second helping. Second HelpingWe have talked about a 2nd Kingdom and a 2nd chance. Each week we have told you that God favors the second!Today we are talking about a second option. Second OptionIt feels good to have options. Life is stressful when your options are limited.We have free will to make most of the choices in our life. You have the option to change your habits, lifestyle, thoughts, and focus. Sometimes that is the message we need to hear.  You have the option to change.But there are some things we do not have the option to change.You do not have the option to change who your parents are. You were not given a choice in the matter, you ere just born.If we had the option to choose our parents, we might be tempted to try another option.Wealthy parents.Powerful parents.More loving parents.Cooler parents.We love our parents… but we wouldn’t mind if our parents were billionaires.But we get no such option.In fact, according to the story of the Bible, we all proceed from the first Adam. First AdamNone of us get a say in the matter. Adam came first and we all come from his lineage.Do you know what happened to Adam?  He died.Do you know what happened to his children? They died.Do you know what happened to Noah, Abraham, and Moses?  They died.1 Corinthians 15:21 (NIV) For as in Adam all die…Everyone who comes from Adam dies. There is no other option in Adam. 100% of his children die.Everyone who comes from Adam is separated from God. Not a single child of Adam is allowed back in the garden.Everyone who comes from Adam has no hope.  Our patriarch Adam is dead, and it is only a matter of time until we are dead.We need a second option. Second OptionIf the first option is death, we need a second option of life.If the first option is separation from God, we need a second option of reconciliation with God.If the first option is hopelessness, we need a second option that gives us hope.Now you are all ready for me to talk about Jesus… and we will… but first I want to tell you what is NOT a good second option.-Politics and government are not a good second option.-Religion is not a good second option.-More money is not a good second option. “mo money mo problems” – Notorious B.I.G.-More pleasure is not a good second option.-More power is not a good second optionIn fact, these are not second options at all… they are more of the same first option that has left us dying, without hope, and far from God.We need a second option! We need a second Adam. Second AdamThat first Adam will not do! Everyone who lines up after the first Adam dies hopelessly separated from God.We need a second Adam to line up behind.Jesus is that second Adam. Jesus has a lot of titles in Scripture… Savior, Redeemer, Bread of Life, Son of God, Holy One, King of Kings… MANY MORE! Chances are that you don’t know this title given to Jesus in 1 Corinthians 15:45.1 Corinthians 15: 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.V45 – The FIRST ADAM became a living being. Back in Genesis 1 God breathed into Adam and the first Adam became a living being.The LAST ADAM, that is Jesus, he was more than a living being.  Jesus is a LIFE GIVING SPIRIT!The first Adam received life…The LAST ADAM GIVES LIFE!  He gives LIVING WATER!John 7:38 (NIV) Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”The SPIRIT OF GOD… THE LIVING WATER… THE LIFE GIVING HOLY SPIRIT… it comes from Jesus AND IT IS JESUS. Jesus is the Life Giving Spirit! A lot of people get confused about the Father, Son,
