Illusion
Optical illusions show how easily our senses are fooled. Fallen man is fooled in a deeper way, cut off from reality until he is brought back to God through Christ.

-
The Last Adam
Through one man, Adam, sin and death came to all. Through the Last Adam, Jesus Christ, grace reigns through righteousness to eternal life.
