what are the temptations we face nowadays?
Not eating ice cream so our weight can be controlled? Not watching television till late so we can sleep early? Not being online so we can be more productive? Not cheating on our partners so our relationship can last? Not being intimate with someone ahead of time? Do we give in to our temptations? Yeh. I do. And sometimes I think it's so difficult to resist temptations. I am quite ashamed of myself.
Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights and he was hungry. Very hungry. Satan tempted him, he didn't succumb to Satan's temptation. Jesus was weak and powerless. Satan promised Him power. Satan promised him glory and the world. He just needed to say okay and the world was his. He didn't succumb to Satan's temptation.
There is a reason why there is a Maslow's hierachy of Needs theory. Food belongs to the base level, the most important part of life.
Jesus is great, isn't he?
