Nobody’s perfect, right? We often use this sentiment to justify our failings to ourselves, those around us, and ultimately to God. And, of course, it is true—with one exception.

As we continue our sermon series on the core Christian beliefs about Jesus, today we will see that Jesus is perfect. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life. The serpent tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden, and they quickly gave in to his seduction and every person after them fell in the same trap.

When Satan came at Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus stood true to God’s Law and purpose, rejecting the temptation for a greater purpose. Therefore, Jesus is our perfect Law keeper, making Him True Israel. And His perfect life also makes Him the unblemished Lamb of God who can take away our sin.
