Ellen White's powerful "Bible Student's Library"<br />
booklet of 1894 entitled Christ Tempted As We<br />
Are. This dates from the same general period as the<br />
Baker letter. She clearly supports the 1888<br />
message:<br />
(a) '"It behooved Him to be made like unto His<br />
brethren.'"<br />
(b) He "was in all points tempted like as we<br />
are, yet without sin."<br />
(c) His temptations were not like Adam's; "it<br />
was not thus with Jesus." "Alone He was to tread<br />
the path of temptation and exercise self-control<br />
stronger than hunger, ambition, or death....<br />
Specious reasoning was a temptation to Christ. His<br />
humanity made it a temptation to Him.... He<br />
walked by faith, as we must walk by faith.... One<br />
has endured all these temptations before us.... <strong>The</strong><br />
Christian's ... strongest temptations will come from<br />
within. Christ [was] tempted as we are [same<br />
page]" (p. 11).<br />
