Replace And Reform
Jesus took the place of the firstborn in order to reform humanity. Jesus took Adam’s place as old covenant firstborn in order to reform as firstborn in the new. The only fully human old covenant Jew reformed His humanity by way of His new covenant resurrection. The eschatos Adam died in the place of the Adam. The chosen Jews joined their resurrected humanity in His new covenant creation. The last Adam was put to death and resurrected as the first new covenant human.
