Winning Over Temptation

God’s Story:
There has been temptation as long as there have been people. Satan, in the form of a serpent, brought temptation to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Satan won and separated my people from me. My Son, Jesus, will go into the wilderness where Satan will tempt him too, but this time the results will be radically different. This time Satan will lose and Jesus will be victorious! As a result, instead of being separated from my children, I will be re-united with them.

Read Matthew 4:1-11

Your Story:
This time of testing in the wilderness demonstrated that Jesus really was the Son of God. Jesus remained perfect and sinless, able to resist the devil’s evil temptations. You too will be tested throughout your life. Although you are not blameless and without sin like Jesus, you are able to resist temptation when it comes your way. No one said it would be easy, but if you are aware and ready, you will be more prepared for the fight. Like Jesus did (3 times), you can resist the devil by relying on God’s Word. And through your faith in God, you have more strength on your side than you can possibly fathom.
