adam and Golgotha

To Adam are ascribed Ps. v., xix., xxiv., and xcii. (Midr. Teh. v. 3; Gen. R. xxii., end; Pesiḳ. R. xlvi.; see Bacher, "Ag. Pal. Amor." ii. 337 et seq.). His body, made an object of worship by some semi-pagan Melchisedician sect, according to the Christian Book of Adam, was shown in Talmudic times at Hebron, in the cave of Machpelah (B. B. 58a, Gen. R. lviii.), while Christian tradition placed it in Golgotha near Jerusalem (Origen, tract 35 in Matt., and article Golgotha). It is a beautiful and certainly an original idea of the rabbis that "Adam was created from the dust of the place where the sanctuary was to rise for the atonement of all human sin," so that sin should never be a permanent or inherent part of man's nature (Gen. R. xiv., Yer. Naz. vii. 56b). The corresponding Christian legend of Golgotha was formed after the Jewish one.(http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/758-adam)

God is a God or order and reasoning....so with that I believe that the Christian  tradition makes full sense.....It makes sense that man was made out of the very earth where Christ would come for redemption. We may not know all God's ways.....but that doesn't mean they know make sense. It is a beautiful picture of the redemption that the very dust from which we comes is a picture of the glory and redemption to come. Amen!
