What to Do When You’re Tempted
By Greg Laurie
“God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”
—James 1:12
Though Jesus is God, He laid aside some of the privileges of His deity. He did not void His deity; He veiled it. He humbled Himself and became a man.
Jesus experienced human limitations like we do. He was tired. He knew physical thirst and physical hunger. And He also felt physical weakness.
The Bible also teaches that Jesus was tempted. And He left us an example to follow when we face temptation ourselves.
