Matthew retells the story of Israel in Jesus. When mankind is faithless, He is faithful! Adam failed the test in the garden of Eden; Jesus repeatedly passes it. He completely trusts His Father. When Satan attempts to flatter and deceive Him, His response is scripture! Later, He resists temptation on the cross, and after His death, even gentiles are moved to confess He was the Son of God. Sonship is not recognized in great works of power, but in loving, faithful obedience to the Father!
