My Savior: Subject to temptation
One aspect of Jesus’ saving love for me is that he doesn’t despise me for being weak. He doesn’t like my sins, and he does hold me accountable, but he doesn’t despise me. One of the reasons is that he had to wrestle with the devil too, and he knows how hard it is to choose and do what is right.
“We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). Think of it--Jesus loved you enough to subject himself to Satan’s tempting, teasing lures. Think of it--he never caved in. His perfect track record against temptation made him a perfect sacrifice on the cross.
Those terrible experiences of wrestling with Satan lead him to be compassionate with us. “Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted” (Hebrews 2:18).
Where are you weak right now? With which satanic temptation do you need Jesus’ help today?
