    Although Jesus was and is fully God, He was and is fully man. He can feel what we feel because, as the Word says, He was “…in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15). We are going to look at how His faith was tested, but He did not sin – not even one time.

    Christ was born to die. From the moment He was born, the Cross at Calvary cast its shadow upon that Infant and would never leave Him until He had finished His mission. He was born to die.
