Are you been tempted? Of course, we all had experiences about temptation. There are so many kinds of temptation. For example your trying to lose weight but your mother cook delicious food or your friends want to take you out. How we resist the temptaion. "He was tempted in every way that we are, but he did not sin.” Hebrews 4:15
I read on Max Lucado about this topic and he said: When his accusers called him a servant of Satan, Jesus demanded to see their evidence. “Which one you convicts Me of sin?” he dared (John 8:46 NSAB). Ask my circle of friends to point out my sin, and watch the hands shoot up. When those who knew Jesus were asked the same question, no one spoke. Christ was followed by disciples, analyzed by crowds, criticized by family, and scrutinized by enemies, yet no one person would remember him committing even one sin. He was never found in the wrong place. Never said the wrong word. Never acted the wrong way. He never sinned. Not that he wasn’t tempted, mind you. He was “tempted in every way that we are, but he did not sin.”
Lust wooed him. Greed lured him. Power called him. Jesus—the human—was tempted. But Jesus—the holy God—resisted.
God showed to us that he is human, he is subjected into temptation. But, he never let himself to fall into it. Instead he resisted! The same way in us when temptation comes learn to resists.
