Jesus overcame sin and temptation because He was God Almight in the flesh! Jesus is not like one of the many of supposedly great men thru out history who inspires us. Jesus was not just some great guy alone to lead us just as a man alone. Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sin and THRU Him I have the capability to live and love. It's not about following Jesus as a man alone. It is about allowing Jesus to live within you. If Jesus as a man alone, it does nothing for me. Jesus is God and gives me life and lives in me and does the good works within me. Jesus is not just one of many great men who inspire. Jesus is God Almighty in the flesh who is my Savior and by His Spirit He is able to save me and make me stand in Him. I don't think there and marvel at all of Jesus works as a man and think I can be just like HIm. No. I can never be exactly like Jesus because He was God who was worshiped. Yes, I am to conform to the image of Christ and His behavior. But I am not to be God. Jesus is God. My inspiration is not in looking at Him as a man. My inspiriation is in looking at Him as God and what He had done for me and continues to do thru me (In Him being God still).
1. Jesus disrobed himself of the GLORY he had with the Father before the world began
2. He took upon himself the form of a SERVANT
3. He came in the LIKENESS of SINFUL FLESH
a. God sending his own son in the LIKENESS OF SINFUL FLESH Romans 8:3
b. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant , and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in the FASHION OF MEN, he humbled himself
LIKNESS=homoloma-->made like to, similar, likeness
FASHION=schema-->a figure as a mode or circumstance, fashion
Jesus also said....WHY CALLEST THOU ME GOOD!
You still reject the truth in favor of conjecture, supposition and opinion and will never understand until you are willing to humble yourself and admit your error......!
You also fail to understand why Jesus would have to be tried just as we are tried, tempted just as we are tempted and according to you flawed stance, your Jesus cannot possible UNDERSTAND what HUMANITY goes thru!
Open your eyes Jason and pus aside all of the man mad doctrine that you follow and start believing the truth!
