Tested

Jesus is sent into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted by the Devil. Temptation is so common to us in this world that even Jesus Himself was tempted. This was, ultimately, for our good, as Hebrews notes that Jesus is now able to sympathize with us in our temptations. And even though we are tempted in this way, temptations still come. They come from our sinful selves, they come from the world around us, and they come from that old liar, the Devil. There is much that can be said about this, but this sermon is about one in particular: Satan. What should we make of him? What are his tactics? And, most importantly, how can we overcome him?
