Q and A: Was Adam’s Fall Good?

We tackled four questions sent in by parishioners and others:

1. In the Exsultet, it says:
O wonderful providence of Adam’s sin
destroyed completely by the death of Christ.
O happy fault, which gained for us
so great and glorious a Redeemer.

I don’t usually hear about Adam’s sin as being a sort of good thing. How should we understand these words?

2. What does it mean to be “hidden in Christ” and how does this truth help us practically?

3. Annihilationism what is it and is there any reason to believe that it is true?

4. What does Paul mean in Romans 4 when he says that Christ was “raised for our justification?”

There are two videos because the live feed failed about 15 minutes into the class and we started a second video. Both are below.
