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 />
