These
scriptures set out the fact that Jesus came to earth as a human being to be
tested
and tempted
by sin and to experience what we as human beings go through on a daily
basis. Being the son of God, his will power to resist
the sins of the world set the perfect
example of
what we should, also, always strive to do. Although we are all imperfect, it is
reassuring
to know that Jesus is our intermediary with God to argue our case if we truly
believe in
him, pray for his forgiveness, and strive to lead a Christian life. His forgiveness
of our sins
is hard for anyone of us to imagine. His
grace and mercy are boundless.
Because
Jesus died for us, we have the comfort of knowing that if we believe in him,
one
day we will
be with him in heaven, no matter how imperfect we are.
Prayer: Dear Lord, Thank you for your Son, Jesus. Without his Christian example
while on
earth, we would be lost in a world of sin. We pray that each of us will strive to
follow his
example and lead a Christian life. We
know we are imperfect and commit sin
after sin in
our daily lives. We ask for your
forgiveness, your mercy and your grace. In
your
Father’s name we pray. Amen.
