The Apostle Paul called Jesus the “last Adam.” As soon as God announced His approval of Jesus at His baptism, the Holy Spirit led Him into the wilderness to be confronted by the Serpent. With every advantage and provision in the Garden of Eden, the first Adam succumbed to enticement. With no provisions except faith and the words of God for 40 days in the wilderness, Jesus remained resolute in the face of temptation. What mankind did not overcome in the Garden, the Son of God conquered in the desert. Today, we as Believers walk through a wilderness of our own, but Jesus has made us “more than conquerors.” He has made us sons and daughters of God Almighty, with all the power and authority that kinship provides.
