    Jesus was tempted, yet He didn’t succumb to the enticement to sin. Jesus Reigns!

    Satan tempts Jesus three times, and Jesus isn’t in his full strength at that point. He actually had just fasted forty days in the wilderness. Luke 4 gives an account of Satan’s tempting of Jesus, as does what we have read in Matthew 4. As we go further into the Gospels, a lot of harmony ...read more

    We often fall into despair when we think of Jesus as only a model to learn from. When temptation comes, it is Jesus who is victorious and to overcome temptation we must defer to Him.
