Day 24 of our 40 Day Bible Challenge: Matthew 4 We’ve wrestled with the question of “If Jesus was without a sinful nature, how could he possibly be tempted?” But can’t a city be besieged even though it’s impregnable? And acid will corrode some metals but not others. The devil tested Jesus in his most vulnerable, weak points (he was extremely hungry and isolated in the desert) and yet, it didn’t work. Jesus experienced firsthand, the full force of the temptation of sin, and his response? He knew the Word of God. The Word of God if handled correctly, will always defeat Satan in his attempts to entrap you by way of temptation. Learn to “rightly divide the Word of Truth.” What sins are you struggling with today? Jesus, himself, understands what you are going through. “…we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.” So then “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”(Heb. 4:14-15) It’s necessary to ask for forgiveness and pray for strength in your areas of struggle and weakness, remember, He can relate. by ccdnvr
