Temptation!

By Henry Dening

Jesus was tempted when He had started His public work, following his baptism in the River Jordan. Out of the water into the fire, and it is the same with His followers today. When work is being done for God, the devil is ever ready to oppose it. When Christians sleep, Satan leaves them alone, for they are doing his kingdom no harm. What are the red flags of warning that we so often ignore? Is it possible to follow the example of Jesus, and in our own lives resist and even defeat temptation through God’s mighty power?
