Afterward, the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to experience the ordeal of testing by the accuser. And after fasting for forty days, Jesus was extremely hungry. Then the tempter came to him and said, “How can you possibly be the Son of God and go hungry? Just command these stones to be turned into loaves of bread.” He answered, “The Scriptures say: Bread alone will not satisfy, but true life is found in every word that constantly goes forth from God’s mouth.” Then the accuser transported Jesus to the holy city of Jerusalem and perched him at the highest point of the temple and said to him, “If you’re really God’s Son, jump, and the angels will catch you. For it is written in the Scriptures: He will command his angels to protect you and they will lift you up so that you won’t even bruise your foot on a rock.” Once again Jesus said to him, “The Scriptures say: You must never put the Lord your God to a test.” And the third time the accuser lifted Jesus up onto a very high mountain range and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and all the splendor that goes with it.

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful devotional. God cannot be tempted with evil — neither does God tempt man. Let no man say when he is tempted that He’s tempted of God. Temptation does not come from God. God does not entice you to sin. Satan lures. The enemy entices. Satan wants to draw you away from communing and connecting with Christ. Surrender to Christ.

Many Christians are content with talking about their allegiance to Christ, but fewer show evidence of true commitment. Real commitment involves more than mere words. It is about obedience, discipline, and determination. It will not only help us understand our purpose in life but also help see us through its storms and struggles. Let bestselling author Lois Evans guide you into a deeper level of commitment to Christ.
Easter comes once a year, but God meant for us to live it daily. God created you and me in His image, and He ‘lent’ us a designated time upon earth, as we are ‘meant’ to fulfill a purpose. God ‘sent’ Jesus as a sacrificial lamb to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. Easter is a great time to take spiritual inventory so we can live our purpose!
