Luke 4: 1-13; The Temptation of Jesus

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

'I know how you're going through.' Jesus alone can share those words with us. As we read through the narrative of the temptation of Jesus we are reminded that Jesus has been tempted. What that means for us is that Jesus can help us when we feel tempted ourselves. He can help us because he has been through it himself. Jesus has been tempted, so he knows how difficult temptation can be, but Jesus also knows it is possible to defeat temptation. He does so here in this passage which gives us hope for our own struggles. There is hope, in Jesus. He can, and will, be there to help us as we face times of temptation. And with Jesus' help we, too, can defeat temptation. God bless you.
