He Stood the Test as a True Human Being—We need not place the obedience of Christ by itself as something for which he was particularly adapted, by his particular divine nature, for he stood before God as man’s representative and tempted as man’s substitute and surety. If Christ had a special power which it is not the privilege of man to have, Satan would have made capital of this matter. The work of Christ was to take from the claims of Satan his control of man, and he could do this only in the way that he came—a man, tempted as a man, rendering the obedience of a man....
