Satan tempted Jesus with hunger. (Matthew 4:3)
Satan tempted Jesus with suicide. (Matthew 4:6).
Satan tempted Jesus with power. (Matthew 4:9).
Satan tempted Jesus with life, to avoid the cross. (Matthew 16:23).
Jesus resisted it all, answered with the word of God. He remained sinless, never falling into any of satan’s wiles.
He went to the cross, taking all of God’s wrath, dying as a humiliated sacrifice, separated in darkness for hours, “Father why have you forsaken me?” and then He died.
He did this,

The Father resurrected Jesus. He took our wrath because God placed our sin onto Him…He gave us His righteousness, which we could never possess.. Double imputation. (2 Corinthians 5:21).
So He could do this:

Let us take a moment to praise, honor, and glorify our precious Savior.

I am overwhelmed by the pure beauty of the photo, “Robe of Righteousness;” to the point that I am taken to my knees in tears of gratitude for the finished work of our redemption by our beloved Saviour Jesus. So great was the lovingkindness and mercy that was given to us at that very exact second of time in the entire span of eternity when we believed!

Me too Kay. It moves me every time I look at it. The artist really captured the panoply of emotions, and the perfection of Christ’s righteousness and grace to bestow it on us
