TEMPTATIONS IN LIFE: Jesus was tempted by the devil using the material things in the world and man’s desire for power because Jesus could have been the leader of the Jews who opposed Roman control. The world is a fraud in progress; it always tempts one into selling out to the world for popularity, power, and material gains, but in the end the world seeks to destroy you. We live in a fallen world, and all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The sins of man are always working to destroy a person, capitalizing on that person’s sins also.

Most people don’t believe that they are sinners, and they become angry if called a sinner. The truth is that we are only good relative to our social norms at present. The truth is that we all are sinners in the eyes of our Perfect God.

Jesus has overcome the world beginning with His miraculous birth through his resurrection from the dead by God. Jesus is the One Lord of Life that brings each soul into the presence of God, our Heavenly Father. For He ascended into the heavens before many eyes.

The devil capitalizes on any and all unpleasant occurrences. The devil’s ways are seductive because they are for immediate rewards. One need not have patience nor discipline unto what is good.

All other spiritual leaders are intermediate states of Jesus; a special case of Christianity. But, be not tempted to knock the Muslim; let God have His way. The Son of God camp is forever; God’s only Son.
