In this powerful video, Sam explores the profound biblical connection between Jesus being pierced in His side on the cross and the creation of Eve from Adam’s side in Genesis. He explains how the blood and water that flowed from Jesus symbolize the cleansing of sins through His sacrifice and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, foundational elements in the formation of the Church. Just as Adam was put into a deep sleep and Eve, his bride, was brought forth from his side, so too was Jesus, the second Adam, put into the sleep of death—and from His pierced side came the elements that would birth His Bride, the Church. This rich symbolism points to a greater spiritual reality, showing how the Old Testament account of Adam and Eve foreshadows Christ and His relationship with the Church.

The video dives deep into Scripture, referencing passages such as Genesis 2, to show how Eve’s creation is a prophetic shadow of the Church being formed from Christ. This theological insight not only strengthens the understanding of the Gospel but also enriches Christian apologetics by showing the intentional, divine narrative connecting Genesis to the crucifixion. It's a must-watch for anyone interested in biblical symbolism, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the deeper meaning of Christ's sacrifice.
