To: Salvation

“He was like us in all things except sin.”

I’ve always felt this was under spoken or downplayed in my churches in the past. It wasn’t that he couldn’t sin - by taking human form he was susceptible to sin, but throughout his life and all the temptations he, being the Christ, was able to resist sinning in all its many forms.

Something that we always fail at to some varying degree. Whereas we are buffeted by the winds of temptation, HE stood firm and then silenced the gale through his sacrifice.

Except for those teenaged years. You know, those years where there I no record of him being anything but a teenager and young adult.
