"Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted" (Hebrews 2:18)

Part 2 of 6

Jesus was tested while on earth. The most memorable example is when He was tempted in the desert by Satan. Matthew records, "then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread" (Matthew 4:1-3). In this case Jesus was hungry, or a better way to put it is that He would have been starving. If there was ever a time when He would be weak in His humanity or tempted by the flesh this would be it. But look at His reply, "Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God' “ (Matthew 4:4). Even in His hunger, He was not tempted to the point of sin and responded with scripture.

"Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted" (Hebrews 2:18)

There are many differences between Christianity and every other religion in the world. But the main difference and the thing that makes Christianity far superior to anything else is Jesus. Christianity is the only faith that has a Savior, everything else relies on the good works of the follower. There is no security in this. But because Jesus is the Savior of the World He has offered us grace, mercy and assurance to the things promised in the Bible. One of these wonderful truths is found in this passage of scripture in Hebrews 2. "Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted" (Hebrews 2:18).
