What Adam Did, Jesus Undid (15 of 26)
Series:Romans:The Gospel of God

My wife is a hairstylist by trade, and there have been times when she's been asked to undo a mess someone has made with their hair. Maybe they used a do-it-yourself hair colouring kit and turned their hair green. Or their child was playing with scissors and cut a chunk out of their hair.
