Jesus Re-establishes the Divine & Human Rule

“Jesus as King…reestablished human rule over the angelic and natural orders. He lived out everything that it means to be human, establishing himself as a wise ruler with dominion over his own appetites, with a will, affections, and conscience guided by the direction of his Father – and not by that of Satan. He walked through human suffering, temptation, and, ultimately, the curse of death itself – standing in the place of wrath itself – to wrest humanity from the Accuser’s fingers.”

-- Russell Moore, "Don't Call It a Comeback" (Kevin DeYoung, ed.) [Crossway], p. 122
