"In all points Jesus was made like unto his brethren, and now it remains that in all things his brethren should be made like to him. The Savior’s public life begins and ends with temptation. It commences in the wilderness in a close contest with Satanic craft, it ends in Gethsemane in a dreadful affray with the powers of darkness." Spurgeon
Can you imagine our King coming into a city that bears His name, then walking into the house that was built for His praise, knowing behind a certain curtain is His throne and the people are singing, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD! Hosanna in the highest!
Temptation is the lying snake's business, it's his craft. But Jesus' secret ambition was to give His life away for Adam's sinful race; our redemption was His singular goal, the cross was the only way.
