Matthew 4:1-25 - The Leader and His Followers - Part 2
Manage episode 482974812 series 3450434
Introduction
Matthew skips some of the earliest events as recorded in John's Gospel: the wedding at Cana, the first cleansing of the temple, the encounter with Nicodemus, the visit to Samaria and reveals to us a most remarkable event – the temptation of the Messiah!
Why is this event so important?
- It represented a supernatural showdown between Satan and the Son of God
- It reversed the failure of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Where the first Adam failed, the Second Adam triumphed!
- It demonstrated Jesus’ holy, sinless and perfect role as the atoning Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world
- It enabled Jesus to identify with mankind and become a sympathetic High Priest
- It offers believers a biblical pattern for overcoming temptation
