Pondering about Jesus and the temptations He faces...

[shipeichong]

I was thinking about the types of temptations Jesus went through during His times on earth. If you are tempted in your walk with God often, think about Jesus. Satan knew He is the Son of God. How Satan will literally get as many demons with him as possible to tempt Jesus.

Most of us are tempted by some low ranking demons and already, we fell into sins. Jesus is literally followed around every moment of His life by Satan. After all, why will Satan be elsewhere when he can follow the Son of God and looks for opportunity to cause Him to turn away from God? Satan will also surely look for every opportunity to tempt Jesus to sin.

Still, Jesus is without sin. Oh, how great is our sinless God!

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.

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

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.

I've run in to numerous folks who do not believe Jesus was tempted by the devil to sin with all the things we are tempted with.

They claim it was impossible for Jesus to ever sin in the first place therefore there were no temptations.

Consequently, they may have given Hebrews 4:15 the Ben Franklin treatment (cut it out of their bible because they disagree with it)
