1 | How can Jesus be tempted if He is God? | Heb 4:15 | Reformer Joe | 4835 | ||
Who said that he was tempted in the garden of Gethsemane? We are talking about the Son of God knowing exactly what was going to happen to him, not only physically on the cross, but also facing the holy and infinite wrath of God the Father for the sake of all those who will trust in him. The fact that he obeyed God perfectly does not mean that it didn't cause him anguish to know that he would experience the punishment for our sins. After all, who better than God Himself to know exactly to what extent His holy wrath reaches, how horrible it must have been for someone completely holy to "become sin for us." We may be comfortable with our sin nature and quite accustomed to it, in fact. Christ didn't have the same "luxury"; it shouldn't be surprising in the the least that a perfectly obedient Christ would nonetheless feel excruciating anguish knowing all too well the cross he was going to bear for me. I think all believers should take this into account when reading the accounts of the night before the crucifixion, and remember soberly and thankfully that this was Jesus' understanding of price that was to be paid for our salvation. --Joe! |

2 | How can Jesus be tempted if He is God? | Heb 4:15 | melchizedekau | 4985 | ||
Yo! Joe Jesus was tempted that is how He learned obedience, His sufferings. Those sufferings were to the death. The sufferings of not being able to let the flesh have its own way. Jesus said Not MY will but Yours be done.Then all hell broke loose. Jesus is the Son of God and also the Son of man.He was perfected after the three days. the point i am trying to make is that if Jesus can do it so can we, because He said so. Do what you may ask? Be perfect as our father in heaven is perfect.bless you ,YIC. | ||||||
