Retha, sorry for being so slow to get to the questions on my blog. Your question is an excellent one.

Jesus said an amazing thing in John 8:45 –

John 8:56–57 (NASB95)
56 “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”
57 So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”

Jesus is saying that Abraham saw Him. The Jews understood this and questioned how Jesus could have been in contact with Abraham when Jesus was not even 50 years old.

Some see Jesus coming to Abraham as a man, as a pre-incarnate revelation of the Son, but I believe that each appearance of Jesus in the Old Testament was in His resurrected flesh. How can that happen? Now that is another question. If you are interested in more, I can share.
Suffice it to say that I believe Jesus, the resurrected man, was there at Adam’s creation.
