The Second Adam, Standing in Our Place

We attribute to our idols what only could have been done by god. And so jesus does stand for us as the second adam, standing in our place. It's remarkable that the very place of israel's rebellion is also the place of christ's defeat of the wilderness. That was a place of complaining and idolatry and rebellion,. challenge of god again and again - becomes the place where the son of god stands before the enemy and wins our victory. Praise him. Praise listenyour hope is not in your knowledge. Your hopes are not in your strength. Your hope isn't in your wisdom. Your hope isnot in your long years of walking with the lord.
