Jesus is both the embodiment of Israel and the second and last Adam. He is both true Israel and true humanity. As such he is the recipient of all the privileges and promises granted to Adam and to Israel, and the one through whom God will fulfill all his good purposes both for Israel and for humanity. Thus, all God's promises are "Yes" for those who are in Christ.
This is the focus of the 19th class from the course, God's Story of Redemption. Audio and notes are available here.
