Lesson 22: How Did Jesus Obey Perfectly?Jesus lived without sin and obeyed the Father in everything.
Explanation
Jesus lived a life without sin and obeyed the Father in everything. Where Adam fell, Jesus stayed faithful. Where we fail, He lived in complete righteousness.

Bible story
In the wilderness, Jesus is tempted by the devil, but He does not fall. Later, in Gethsemane, though suffering lies ahead of Him, He says: “not my will, but thine, be done.” From beginning to end, Jesus obeys perfectly.
Remember
- The truth: Jesus lived without sin and obeyed the Father in everything.
- Jesus was tempted, but He never sinned.
- His perfect obedience is great news for sinners like us.
Hebrews 4:15
“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”
