Introduction

In Module 4, we examined the person of Jesus. Now, in this module, we look at the work of Christ. What did Jesus do for us while he was on the earth? Dr. Bounds divides up these works for us into 1) his life, 2) his death, 3) his resurrection, and 4) his exaltation to God’s right hand. This module not only processes various theories of Jesus’ atonement, but also asks how he might exemplify what ideal humanity should look like.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

• Describe how Jesus’ life played out as the “Last Adam.”
