But it is not the spiritual that is first, but the physical, and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven. (1Corinthians 15: 46-49)

Other translations offer that like Adam we are "earthy." The sense of the Greek is better captured by "from the earth." But for me earthy helpfully suggests being grounded, comfortable and unpretentious.

Our physical being is a gift. It comes first. This earthiness is not only first in sequence. It is protos: first in rank. We are descended from a man of dust crafted in the image of God.

Our spiritual destiny is also a gift. This gift is the result of God joining our earthiness, dying, and being buried. We are creatures of both earth and heaven. We are to receive and celebrate each gift: honoring our descent and embracing our ascendence.

Above is Christ the Redeemer by William Blake.
