Subject: The Temptation of Christ |
Bible Note: Joe, but isn't it true that God gave Jesus a mortal body? "Christ Jesus, who though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness", Phil 2:6-7. Although He was and is equal to God, He submitted Himself - made Himself nothing - as He completely surrrendered Himself to the circumstances of God's choice. This tells us that Christ took on the form of the human body along with all it's traits and so was able to be tempted. |
