Jesus tempted in the wilderness

Jesus tempted

Have you ever questioned was Jesus; tempted? Does God understand my situation? Does he care? Let me tell you, Jesus knows what it is like when tempted. He understands your situation, and he cares about your feelings. He has gone through some of the same experiences and has overcome temptation. Jesus was tempted in the wilderness.

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Hebrew 4:15.

Should you find yourself in the face of temptation, know this, Jesus Christ overcame temptation, and he can help you in your time of need. Know that we are over-comers through Jesus Christ. VICTORY IS OURS TODAY.

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Hebrews 2:18.

Overcoming temptation

And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread,

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will, I give it.

If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at anytime thou dash thy foot against a stone.

And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. Luke 4:1-13. (Also found in the book of Matthew 4:1-11).
