THE LORDS TEMPTATION

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are , yet without sin    Hebrews 4:15

The temptations of Jesus were not of those of a mere man.But they were the temptations of God when He appeared as a man. They were in completely different realms.Whenever God takes you into the deeper realms of His mysteries, to be prepared for His purposes- expect the tempter to appear. If he apppeared before the Master, he will surely approach you when God is preparing to use you in some special way. And without the quickening of the Holy Spirit within, our defences are sure to crumble.The Son of Man is acquainted with all our weaknesses.So take heart- He is symphathetic.He did not bring you this far to see you drown.Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
