Jesus Knows The Temptations We Face

One of the significant things about God coming to earth as a man in Jesus Christ, is that he experienced all the same temptations we face as people on earth. As a result, we can know that he understands what we are experiencing when we try to overcome the temptations of life. Jesus was tempted to take the easy way rather than the right way, just like we are.

Paul writes in Hebrews 4:15,16, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

Because Jesus experienced the same temptations we do, he knows what we need to overcome. Paul tells us to ask with confidence for the strength and tools to overcome these temptations.

Dear Lord, Just one of the amazing facets of your plan we see in Jesus’ ability to empathize with our struggles on earth. Help us remember to come confidently to you for help in staying on the narrow path that leads to salvation. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
