Someone for Some People

Christ dies as Someone for some people —

as King for his people,

as Husband for his bride,

as the Head for his body, 

as Shepherd for his sheep,

as the Master for his friends,

as Firstborn for his brothers and sisters, 

as the Second and Last Adam for a new humanity.

—Taken from the introduction to From Heaven He Came and Sought Her: Definite Atonement in Historical, Biblical, Theological, and Pastoral Perspective  by David Gibson and Jonathan Gibson. (Formatted by me.)
