Temptation is the common lot of all mankind (1 Cor. 10: 13.> The strongest and most noble of men are subject to it; angels were tempted, and our scriptures reveals that even Jesus was tempted as the Messiah (w. ’3, 6) and as one without sin ( Heb. 4:15), but ii is also true that He was tempted ’ ih all points as we are, apart from sin, and that w e may learn from His temptation how we may meet and be the victors 'over temptation. 1. What Is Temptation? “Temptation is sedudtion to evil, solicitation to wrong. It stands distinguished from trial thus: trial tests, seeks to -discover the man’s moral qualities or character; but temptation persuades to evil, deludes, that it -may -ruin. God “tries; Satan tempts” (A. M. Fairbairn.) Temptation is-nnt sin/bittyielding to temptation is sin. Luther said, “We cannot keep the birds from flying over ourheadj, biitwe can keep them from building nests in our hair.” Temptation comes from within, “that is, 'from our own lusts (James 1:13, 14.) Satan also tempts us. (Eph. 6:11.) God may permit temptation as sa means of proving our faith (James 1: 2,3.) H How Temptation Works: It is significant that tthe temptations of Jesus were along the tiiree-fold line of the temptations nf Adamo nd HveitGwnFfl- B) and the general three-fold temptation of all men, namely, the lust of flesh, the pride ®f life, .nud the lust of the eyes (1 John 2: 16.) These three temptations really exhaust Satan’s hag ®f tritfks, !bitt he can dress up these three fundamental temptations with almost endless variety. Bewntta 1. By appealing to ithe flesh (w. 2,3.) He obe serves the normal appetites and desires of a man’s body, excites them ito a 'high -degree, -and then suggests improper method of ud wiping them. Hunger is normal and a sign 'iff-good-health. Jesus had fasted forty days and Satan took advantage, of that fact to suggestt he use of His divine power *to sat W His hunger.•“ This would involve a denial of His entire saaasaon am nwrrth, mamely, (the redempti on of man by a divine person who had become a real man. 2. By appealing to’pride (w. 5,6.) Satan misapplied Scripture to tempt Jesus to presumption on the assumption that He -was exercising faith. God had promised to keep Him “in all his ways” (Ps. 91: 11.) To oast 'himself down from the temple was not one of the ways in which Christ was called to walk. Satan comes to us with the same kind of temptation. If He cannot get us to forsake faith, he temptts re to'become fanatic and to proudly substitute presumption for faith. 3. By appealing to the eyes (w. 8,9.) By showing Christ the kingdoms of the world and offering them to Him “by toe Short-cut of a brief act of worship rather than by “the way of the cross, Satan tempted Him .-again. Here the devil showed his true desire that man should worship him rather than God. \m. How to Meet Temptation (w. 4,7, 10.) 1. By the right use off Scripture.. If .Jesus needed that weapon, how can we do without it? IHow can we use Scripture if we do not study it and hide it ih our hearts? 2. By dependence -on God. Every Scriptur e used by Jesus honored God. We cannot fight JSatan in our own strength. “To -attempt to do sois to fail utterly. The real -victory for the Christian is to bring Satan baric to the cross where (Ch rist won a decisive “victory over him. 28. By denouncing Satan. Jesus sent him on his way. We may do the .same in Jesus’ name. It is always a serious error to by to argue with Satan or to engage in any discussion with him. Let us meet him with Scripture and with a “Get thee hence.” TV. The Result. Satan left and angels came to minister to Christ. The overcoming of temptation results in peace, victory and blessing. This is ever so in the life of the believer.. Temptation overcame makes us stronger to meet the next temptation, an d also enables us to help our weaker brethern.
