The Cross of Christ Day 11

October 17, 2025

Chuck and Arlyn Kennedy

In this lesson of The Cross of Christ series, we tackle a profound question: How could Jesus be tempted like us when He knew His divine origin and we were born into sin? Through an extensive study of Scripture, we explore Jesus' humanity, His experiences of hunger, solitude, and vulnerability, and His victory over the core temptations that plague all humanity—lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life. Hebrews 4:15 declares that Jesus, though tempted in all points as we are, remained without sin, making Him the perfect High Priest who understands our struggles. This lesson dives into His encounters with temptation in the wilderness, His prayer in Gethsemane, and His ultimate sacrifice on the cross. Join us to uncover the profound implications of Jesus' victory over temptation and sin, which qualifies Him as the perfect Lamb of God, able to sympathize with our weaknesses and offer eternal salvation.
