Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues our study
in the Gospel of Matthew —
by taking us
into the wilderness.
There, Jesus is led by the Spirit
to face the devil.
Forty days without food.
Forty days without comfort.
Forty days without relief.
What unfolds
is no ordinary temptation.
For here stands
the true Son,
the true Israel,
the last Adam—
to do what they could not.
Where Adam fell,
Christ obeys.
Where Israel failed,
Christ stands.
Tested beyond every other son—
Jesus answers
with the Word of God.
He does not seize bread,
demand proof,
or bow for kingdoms.
He obeys.
And in that obedience—
He conquers.
Because before the crowds,
before the miracles,
before the cross—
HE STANDS
AGAINST SATAN.
