Temptation
June 3, 2007
Eric Hesselbach | Matthew 4:1-11
Temptation is an act that looks appealing to an individual; it tends to lead a person to regret such actions. Temptation seems to be a process that seduces a person into committing such an act, by manipulation or otherwise of curiosity, desire or fear of loss. Jesus’ three temptations may be revealed through our life; We are tempted to gauge life by human comforts and consumerism, to misuse spiritual gifts and power for our own glory and benefit rather than serving others, and to seize power by shortcut, such as equating a particular political agenda with God’s will. There will always be temptations to get ahead and make another person care about you, but we must resist these temptations and follow God. Don’t shortcut life, live life to the fullest.
