Austin CFC Zac Poonen conf 2018 - Session 2 – Jesus Was Tempted Exactly Like Us
Summary
The speaker argues that the New Covenant provides believers with something superior to the miracles and acts of faith seen in the Old Covenant. He emphasizes that while the Old Testament focused heavily on external obedience, Jesus' teachings, particularly in the Sermon on the Mount, brought the focus inward—addressing internal matters like anger and lust. The Christian life is thus presented as an inward race running after Christ.
