Why Was Jesus Subjected To Be Tempted By The Devil?

Why was Jesus subjected to be tempted by the devil?

Well, for the same reason we all face every day, and that is, to learn how to successfully overcome temptation.

This hard test was an extreme example to show that no matter what the devil offered him, He was strong enough mentally, physically, and spiritually to overcome temptation and he did this by boldly declaring the Word of God to rebuke every temptation the devil offered Him. His example in the wilderness showed us how we also can be VICTORIOUS in our daily temptations as well.

Today, we too are living our lives in the 'Wilderness Of The World' where we are constantly exposed to The World, The Flesh, and The Devil. Yet, because “The power that raise Christ from the dead dwells in us” (Romans 8:11) and by also standing on the Word of God as Jesus showed us, we too can overcome temptation.

Friend, if you find yourself at times seemingly unable to turn away from a temptation, just as Christ had victory, so you too can have victory.Remember Jesus’ example and Embrace the Wilderness!

A man bought a very expensive suit at an fine men’s store for a very special upcoming occasion. Fitted to perfection by the tailor, the man and the store manager admired the garment and the man left the store, excited to wear it at an elegant affair that evening.

While getting dressed, he was putting his pen into an inside pocket, but accidentally brushed the open tip on the lapel making a long, prominent indelible mark. In doing so, the once spotless coat was now ruined.

Sin on our lives is exactly like this.

Just as we could not stand before others with a marked garment, we likewise cannot stand before God with the mark of sin on our lives. However, here is the Good News (i.e. the Gospel!)

“The Blood of Jesus Christ… Cleanseth us from ALL sin” 1 John 1:7

Friend, there is no amount of cleansing that we ourselves can do to erase the stain of sin in our lives! Jesus said, if we lived a perfect life, yet were errant in just One Small Mark, it would not make us pure enough to stand before God, however for those that trust and believe in Christ, God’s Word promise is that he shall wash away every mark of sin, make us clean, and make us 'whiter than snow' “Pure and Blameless.”

If you have not asked Christ for His forgiveness that will cleanse you from the deep marks of sin on your life, will you do that right now?

There’s a popular idea in the world that there are many ways to god, that all religions essentially teach the same thing and that by being good and living life best you can is all you need to do.

The problem however is that pesky guy Jesus!

While almost all religions revere Jesus Christ as a wise man, prophet, and great teacher, he made a statement that negates all other paths, when He said:

“I am THE WAY The Truth and The Life.” John 14:6

You see, according to Christ there are really only two ways we can take — His Way...Or Another. He also said “Follow Me” and that way is along a narrow road that leads to eternal life, or you can choose to take the broad path that “Many Will Follow” that points in a different direction to destruction. (Matthew 7:13)

Both do not — Or Cannot — arrive at the same destination.

Friend, you are free to choose which way you will go in this life and follow along the path you think is best. It may not be Christianity, and that choice is entirely up to you. No one can make that decision for you, but at some point there is a Time To DECIDE to choose one path or another. The crucial word here is TIME because when your life clock points to the last hour, minute, and second it will be too late to change the Final Destination of your direction.

TODAY is the Day of Salvation. NOW is the Time.

What PATH have you decided to follow?

'Religion' these days is embarrassing, especially if you ascribe to anything Christian. That’s why a message like this routinely gets swiped past because it’s just another message about somebody’s 'imaginary friend' encouraging you to agree with something you don’t want or think you need. Either that, or you ARE a believer in God, but you don’t want to be embarrassed in front of others that you agree with messages about God or Christ. If so, please re-read today’s verse to see what God (that is…if you even believe in one or not) says about those that act this way.

You see, it is NOT belief in God that saves you, or UNBELIEF in God that condemns you, it is the the DENIAL of God where you condemn yourself.

In this connected, socially driven world people crave as many views and likes as possible thinking that the more they get ,the more they also will be LIKED and accepted. While it is great to have friends - be they real or virtual - the best “FRIEND” that you should seek a LIKE from is GOD.

If you scroll past HIM, He will scroll past YOU.

Do you know anyone famous who was born on your birthday?

The famous actor John Wayne was born on May 26, 1907 and died June 11, 1979. Everyone has lived through a June 11th and through all the other the 364 days in the year. One of those days is the day you were born, and the other is the day you will die, but which day is it? Have you ever thought that you have lived through that day many, many, times and never knew it?

So we all have two very important days; the day that we arrive in this life, and the day that we depart from this life. The most important question is; what happens after that second date? Do you know?? If you do not or are unsure, READ ON...

Here is the thing...you have to make a decision about some key important beliefs. For example, do you believe that God Almighty - the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob - sent Jesus Christ to die for your sins, and that believing and accepting of what he did will save your soul?

That’s it...the ball is in your court! You have 100% freedom to either reject or accept Christ. Now when that day of the year comes around and your time on earth expires, are you ready to accept your eternal fate? Don’t just think about it - ACT!

That calendar day will come...(someday). Please be ready and do not delay.

Make that decision TODAY, because the day you ASSUME will happen tomorrow may never come, and as Hebrews 9:27 urgenly concludes and warns all says:

“Then Cometh THE JUDGEMENT”
