Bible Text: Genesis 2:4-9, 15-17, 25-3:7, Psalm 51:1-13, Romans 5:12-19, Matthew 4:1-11 | Preacher: Fr. Jim Cheetham | Series: Lent | The temptation of Jesus is the wilderness. God will not allow us to be tempted without a way to escape. Jesus was tempted in every way yet without sin. He is the only one who ever has, hence, him being the basis of our salvation and hope because he did for us what we could not do for ourselves. Jesus’ victory over temptations means he overcomes when we fail. We can turn to him for strength and help and he will see us through. He did not take the shortcut but went to the cross to die for us.
