TIM
Good morning. I’m Tim Wise, Sanctuary Choir Director at Central.
Have you ever felt temptation or wonder why you find yourself feeling troubled or hurt or even neglected?
In the book of Mark from the New Testament, we read about Jesus’ baptism and the Holy Spirit descending on him.
But it doesn’t end there...immediately following his baptism, Jesus is driven into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan for forty days.
There is no promise that just because you are a faithful, baptized believer that you won’t experience temptation and difficulties. Even Jesus experienced temptation.
We all struggle. Some things may be small such as white lies and desiring material possessions. Others may be larger desires such as addiction and idolatry.
Whatever they may be, we cannot allow those sins to consume us. It is by God’s grace that we are saved and overcome sin.
