Luke 24:44-48

44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

“What is so staggering in Paul’s argument here is that he emphasizes that Christ is truly “a man” (like Adam) and yet “in Christ” something so remarkable happens that the representative headship of Adam is broken. This is climactically seen in the resurrection.”
