TMK 32.3
(That I May Know Him 32.3)
Satan met Him and tempted Him on the very points where man will be tempted. Our Substitute and Surety passed over the ground where Adam stumbled and fell. And the question was, “Will He stumble and fall as Adam did over God’s commandments?” He met Satan’s attacks again and again with “It is written,” and Satan left the field of conflict a conquered foe. Christ has redeemed Adam’s disgraceful fall, and has perfected a character of perfect obedience, and left an example for the human family.... Had He failed on one point in reference to the law of God, He would not have been a perfect offering, for it was on one point only that Adam failed.... (TMK 32.3) MC VC
