“The Second Adam” (Luke 3:21-4:13)

Where are you most tempted to turn the Christian life into “doing more” to regain God’s approval—rather than resting in Christ’s finished victory? In the wilderness, Jesus faces Satan’s temptations and proves Himself faithful where Adam (and, by implication, all of us) failed: He submits to God alone, worships God alone, and trusts God alone. Jesus is the Second Adam, succeeding in our place and securing victory over sin, condemnation, and the accuser! Therefore, the Christian’s confidence is not found in a fresh “to-do list” aimed at earning God’s favor, but in resting in what Christ has already done, and then obeying him out of love and gratitude rather than fear and worry.
