5th ATTEMPT TO HYPE JESUS
Vee stirred this one up.
I don't need to prove to you that you are weak... Really, you are not worth the attempt. Don't take offense -- neither am I. You sinned yesterday, the day before that, and before that, and before that... (You get the picture)
Only one Man ever crushed Sin entirely, and on our behalf.
C.S. Lewis said it this way (paraphrasing), we do not know how bad temptation can get because we give in too early.
I mean, once you have fallen and fornicated, the deed is done, the temptation ends (mind you, Jesus died for that). But for as long as you resist the sin, the temptations get worse (ask Joseph), so by simple logic, He who stood through all temptations has seen the worst!! But the Word says: ...Yet without sin!! (Heb 4:15, 1 Pet 2:21,22)
So here's the hype: He walked 33 years, never lied, never dabbed, never watched porn, never succumbed like you and I have. I would have said He's better than us, but we'll call that an understatement. He's the best!!!
Humbling huh?

1 Cor 10: 12 Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
