Bible Question: When Jesus was in the wilderness with Satan-Matthew 4-could He have sinned? |
Bible Answer: The apostle Paul viewed Jesus as the 2nd Adam. The difference between the 1st and 2nd Adam: the former sinned and brought its consequences on all his offspring while the latter did not and ransomed Adam's offspring. Consider the following excerpts: For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"[e]; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.(1 Cor 15:22,45) For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. (Rom 5:17) But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for[f]the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. (Heb 2:9,10,17,18) For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. (Heb 4:15) Heb 5:8 says: Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered In summary, Jesus not only could have sinned while on earth, but he could learn. Having endured "in the flesh," he in in a position, now, to be a sympathetic high priest. What a loving Father to not only provide his only-begotten son to buy us back, but to train him so as to judge us perfectly as does God, remembering that we are dust. (Psalm 103:13-14) |
