Adam to Moses

Broadly, the contrast is:

Adam: sin, death;

Christ: righteousness, life.

Adam drew down into his ruin the old creation (Romans 8:19-22) of which he was lord and head. Christ brings into moral unity with God, and into eternal life, the new creation of which he is Lord and Head. (Ephesians 1:22); (Ephesians 1:23). Even the animal and material creation, cursed for man's sake, (Genesis 3:17) will be delivered by Christ. (Isaiah 11:6-9); (Romans 8:19-22).
