[Discoveries] 03-06-07 Jesus understands

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our 
weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as 
we are-yet was without sin. -- Hebrews 4:15*/

All of us know what it's like to be tempted. But how well do we 
understand how temptation operates?

Are we tempted because we have a sinful nature? If that is so, then how 
could Jesus be tempted? He did not have a sinful nature.

And why is alcohol, for example, a major temptation for one person, and 
no temptation at all for the next person? Why do we sometimes fall to 
the same temptation over and over again?

What are our options when we are tempted? What can we do to avoid being 
tempted?

I throw out these questions because I think these are fundamentally 
important issues for us to understand. Think these things over, and, if 
you are struggling with temptation, take the temptation together with 
all your desires straight to Jesus. He understands, and He will come to 
your aid.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
