Temptation: The Two Adams Contrasted

Both Adam and Christ faced three aspects of temptation, Adam yielded, bringing upon humankind sin and death.  Christ resisted, resulting in justification and life.

"The lust of the flesh" -- 1 John 2:16 "The tree was good for food -- Genesis 3:6 First Adam
"Command this stone to become bread" Luke 4:1 - 13 Second Adam Christ

"The lust of the eyes" -- "It was pleasant to the eyes" -- "the devil showed him all the kingdoms"

"The pride of life" -- "A tree desirable to make one wise" -- "throw yourself down from here"
