Pastor Paul discusses the temptation of Jesus, the temptation of Adam and Eve, and our own temptations today. How to overcome temptation? What are the signs that you may be giving into sin?
From the Bible:
Matthew 4:1-11
‘Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after He had fasted for forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’ ” Then the devil *took Him along into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and he *said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written: ‘He will give His angels orders concerning You ’; and ‘On their hands they will lift You up , So that You do not strike Y our foot against a stone .’ ” Jesus said to him, “ On the other hand, it is written: ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ” Again, the devil *took Him along to a very high mountain and *showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus *said to him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.’ ” Then the devil *left Him; and behold, angels came and began to serve Him. ‘
