Jesus endured the curses told to Adam
Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us - for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree.”
Curses told to Adam, due to the fall | Jesus during his passion | |
Thorns | thorns in the ground (Gen 3:17-18) | wore a crown of thorns (Mt 27:29) |
Sweat | sweat of labour (Gen 3:19) | sweated blood in the garden of Gethsemane (Lk 22:44) |
Death | return to dust (Gen 3:19) | his death on the cross was a curse (Dt 21:23 & Gal 3:13) |
