Our Relation to Adam's Temptation and to Christ's
Mark 1:12-13
And immediately the spirit drives him into the wilderness.…


Adam yielded; Christ overcame. Adam's sin contains all the sin of his children; Christ's victory contains all the victories of His people. There was the vice of all sinning in the one, and there was the virtue of all conquering in the other, When we sin we go down to that sin by the same steps which Adam trod, and when we foil the tempter, we do so with the same weapons that Christ wielded.

(Dean Vaughan.)
