The 40 days of Lent remind us that Jesus was tempted.
“Jesus Christ was just beginning his public ministrations. As one saith, “So long as Jesus Christ had nothing to meddle with but the chips in his father’s carpenter’s shop, the devil never tempted Him, but now that He was beginning to proclaim glad tidings to the poor, the devil attacked Him.” … Satan will find some extraordinary means of tempting him whom God puts upon extraordinary service.”
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
“Tempted of the Devil,” 1864
Serve God, proclaim the gospel, and don’t give in to temptation.
