And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Mt 6:13

Pass the Exam

Quality of any thing or person or organisation is determined and certified by thorough examination. The quality of a believer is also established by a series of tests in varied forms in life. When the disciples asked the Master Teacher Jesus how they ought to pray, Jesus had this verse in His condensed form of prayer: "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" (Mt 6:13). Even forty days of fasting did not exempt Him from temptation by the enemy, "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil" (Mt 4:1). Overcoming the three temptations by using the weapon of the Divine Word, Christ won, and He encouraged Peter to pass through, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren” (Lk 22:31-32). Christ also leaves behind a clear strategy as there would be testing and victory for a true believer,"In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (Jn 16:33). Let's endure the battles of all temptations in the Mighty Name of Christ. 

 

Abba, help us endure all trials. Let your Spirit be with us. Amen!
