Tempted

Did you know that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was tempted by the devil? You may feel like God can't understand temptation but that's just not true. God became flesh and went through trials and temptations also. The Bible teaches us how to fight off temptation. See Jesus had a very different method for fighting His tempter than you may think. I mean this is Jesus, He could have fought off the devil in many creative and powerful ways but look at the scripture below and how Jesus warded off satan's attempts to make Him stumble:

“Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “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 by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God.’ ” Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly 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 will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ” Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.”

Matthew 4:3-11

Jesus weapon was the Word!!! The scriptures are so powerful that Jesus quoted them and ultimately made satan flee from tempting Him anymore! Now did you catch the part where the devil quoted the scripture also? This is no new trick, since Adam and Eve satan has attempted to twist and pervert Gods Word. If The devil can get us to question Gods Word he is doing his job but you see if we follow Jesus example we can throw the truth right back in the devils face. Get in the Word (the Bible) and see how it will make you confident against the enemy's attack!
