Today’s passage surctk a chord with me. Esp Hebrews 4:15 For 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. This is where our similarity with the human side of JC ends. He was tempted like me, but He didn’t give in to it, like I often do. Satan knows my weaknesses, and he often tempts me this way, and instead of resisting it, I fall for it almost every time! Lord, I need help in overcoming my temptation, because so far I’ve been too weak and gullible.
Thank you and bless you brother!
Amen, Brother! We need to pray as Jesus taught us, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom and the power and glory forever. Amen. A little girl was once asked what she did when the devil came knocking at her door. She said, “I ask Jesus to answer it for me.” Good answer. Hide ourselves in Christ and let Him protect us from evil and the evil one, for He has already won the victory against Him on the Cross and by His mighty resurrection. Praise Jesus! Amen.
