Not Alone

Heb 4:14-16
14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.16 Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.(NAS)

When we struggle with temptation, this should be an encouragement. Jesus endured all the same temptations that we face daily, but he never sinned. He understands the temptations that we face, and He can help us fight those temptations through His grace for His glory. I don't know about you, but I can't begin to imagine going through all the temptations I face and never once giving in, but always remaining holy. I said this a couple nights ago, but for those of us that are believers, we serve a great God.
