THE MOMENT OF TEMPTATION
After Jesus had spent forty days and nights in the wilderness the devil came to Him with temptations. Jesus went through these temptations without ever giving in. The question is, how did He do it? In Matthew 4:1-11 we read of the temptation Jesus went through. How He did it is answered within these verses. Jesus basically gave a stern NO. He was not going to give in. In fact in verse 10 He told Satan to leave by saying “away with you Satan!”
Can it be that easy? The answer is yes. We can do it if we live for the word “No” and not “Maybe” during temptations. Let me give you an example of things that happen to us today. So often we may say “Maybe” to sin instead of “No,” leaving the option open for us to say “Yes.” Brethren, this is not resisting temptations that are placed before us. If we say maybe, than we are like the person trying to get rid of a telemarketer without saying a firm “NO” and hanging up the phone. Though we may say we are not interested in buying Satan’s product (SIN) we hold onto the phone and continue to discuss the tempting wares, leaving the possibility for Satan to make the sale. Brethren, to resist temptation we must say a firm “No” and hang the phone up. Let us be as Christ and repeat those great words “away with you Satan!” Ernie
