If I am tempted I will..........

Good morning!! Well, the weekend, then Christmas eve, then Christmas day, and then we start looking forward 366 days (next year is leap year) to the next Christmas. Yea. God is good all the time, all the time, God is good.

Okay, continuing on with Jesus' life from christiananswers.net - here we go. Remember, Jesus had been baptized by John the Baptist. Here we pick up with Jesus.

Then, after Jesus spent forty days in the desert, Satan, who had successfully tempted Eve in the Garden, tried ways of tempting Jesus--but Jesus would not sin.

Finally, Satan took Jesus to an especially high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. Then Satan said, "All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down and worship me."

Jesus answered, "Get away from me, Satan: because God has written that, you shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve."

While Jesus, the son of God, lived on earth in the form of a man, He was tempted in all the same ways we are, yet He never sinned.

So, where Adam failed, Jesus succeeded. This showed that Jesus indeed could be the Savior of mankind--the lamb sent from God.

Okay, a question to ponder, is our (my) faith strong enough to resist temptation, and if not will we (I) call upon God for strength? Thank you for reading today. Merry Christmas!! Love you all!!

In Christ's Love and Grace
