Temptation

In Christ we have the power, mercy, and grace to flee from any temptation that would cause us to sin! Don't try to resist temptation, FLEE from temptation into the arms of our Lord, Savior, King Jesus Christ!

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:14-16 ESV).

As I was reading this passage of Scripture this morning, I was reminded again that even as we are tempted to sin, Jesus was also tempted yet He did not sin. So He can sympathize with us when we are being tempted to sin and we can look to Him and Him alone to "receive mercy and find grace" in our time of temptation and need.
