Being Lutheran Podcast Episode #95 – Matthew 4:1-11

In this episode, Brett, Brian, and Jason conclude their examination of the Sixth Petition of the Lord’s Prayer by doing a Bible study on the temptation of Christ from Matthew 4:1-11.  In his temptation, Jesus stands in the place of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, in the place of Israel wandering in the wilderness, and in our place as we each are tempted to sin.  Where Adam and Eve, Israel, and we have failed, Jesus comes through as the faithful Son of God.  And as our substitute, our righteousness looks like the righteousness of Jesus Christ because it is the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
