When Adam and Eve ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they got their first taste of knowing personally what evil is. Human history is the story of each of person getting a taste for evil and paying the price for this taste in pain, misery and death.
When Jesus came as the last Adam He was born with no taste for evil and never tasted evil when tempted. With no taste for evil He became the bread of life we now eat to rid ourselves of our own taste for evil. As we eat from Jesus’ holy life day by day we lose our taste for evil and begin to live only to love with Him.
The first Adam introduced us to the taste of evil. The last Adam takes away our taste for evil one day at a time. Eating from the bread of life day by day we will lose forever our taste for evil.
