Incomparable | Matthew 4: Born to Die. Born to Live | David Asscherick

Explore Matthew chapter 4, focusing on Jesus’ identity as the Son of God and the ultimate embodiment of Israel. Discover the 15 remarkable parallels showing how Jesus purposefully retraced the history of Israel—from the flight to Egypt to the 40 days in the wilderness—to succeed where the nation had failed. Break down the three temptations, revealing how Satan’s challenge, “If you are the Son of God,” was a direct assault on Jesus’ identity. Learn how these temptations correspond to the universal struggles of the “lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life,” and how the enemy uses legitimate desires to lure us into illegitimate actions. Ultimately, see how Jesus’ victory in the wilderness, rooted in knowing who He was, foreshadowed His ultimate purpose: He was born to die so that we might be born to live.
