The Earthy and the Heavenly
1 Corinthians 15:47-49
The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.…


I. THE EARTHY — frail, sensual, dying — can only produce his like.

II. THE HEAVENLY — pure, spiritual, immortal — communicates His own nature by a new birth, to be consummated in the resurrection.

(J. Lyth, D.D.)
