This is part 12 of a series exploring how the Bible teaches that Jesus was greater than all who came before him.  This series is not intended to be exhaustive.  The topic of Jesus as “greater than” or “better” than those who came before him is inexhaustible.  Libraries could and should be written on this subject.  But we have attempted in these pages to explore what such a rich subject would look like. (Each entry is excerpted from There Is No Greater Love)

Christ Greater than Enoch

Now Enoch was sixty-five years old when he became the father of Methuselah…. Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him (Gen 5:21, 24).

Now regarding these also (the wicked ones), Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones to do judgment against all the ungodly who had done their works of ungodliness and for all the ungodly and hard things sinners spoke against him” (Jude 14-15).
