(in that he did not sin and
he regained all that Adam lost)
JESUS IS THE BETTER NOAH
(who brings judgment on sin,
salvation by grace,
and a whole new world)

59. JESUS IS THE BETTER ABRAHAM
(who is the blessed seed of Abraham, who is the
blessing to the nations of the earth)
JESUS IS THE BETTER MOSES
(who has conquered our Pharaoh of Satan,
liberated us to worship him, and fulfilled the law
in our place)

60. JESUS IS THE BETTER DAVID
(He is seated on a throne, ruling as the King of
Kings, and coming again to establish his eternal
kingdom.)

ultimate champion.
