Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 4:1-11
Jesus was tempted, really tempted. No one was ever tempted so cunningly and repeatedly. The tempter did his best and worst. And Jesus felt the temptations keenly. Many a time his brow was moist and his jaw set. But every temptation met its full match in him. He overcame by his set will and his Father’s grace. And so may we, by his victory and his help. Temptation is a chance for victory through Jesus.
