Adam’s fall into sin destroyed the peace he once enjoyed. His rebellion resulted in enmity with God, unrest within, and discord with others. Each of these bitter fruits have been passed down to us as his descendants, leaving us in a state of deep-seated unrest and misery. Only Christ, the last Adam, could restore what the first Adam lost. In Luke 2 we find the first hints of how Jesus would restore peace with God to all who trust in Him by grace.
