In this sermon on Matthew 4:1–11, we explore how Jesus' temptation in the wilderness is not just an example to follow but a victory He wins for us as the true Son of God, the New Israel, and the Second Adam. Where Israel failed and we fail, Christ stood firm; through Baptism, Absolution, and the Lord’s Supper, His victory becomes ours.

Learn how Christ's obedience, trust in the Father, and triumph over Satan give us hope and strength in our own temptations, especially as we enter the season of Lent.
