Jesus Christ Defeating the Devil
Matthew 4:5-7Then the devil taketh him up to the holy temple,and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,and saith unto him,if thou be the Son of God,cast thyself down:for it is written,he shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up,lest at any time thou shall dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, it is written again, Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God.
Many at times we fall for temptation without us even knowing we do. The tricks of the devil is being upgraded daily and yearly. No wonder Jesus Christ had said we should be as wise as a serpent.
A woman prepared a fried chicken in the kitchen and covered it up when she was done. While she went out,her son perceived the sweet aroma and couldn't deny himself of a bite. 'It's just a bite',he said,'I didn't eat the whole chicken'.
This is how many of us fall into temptation without knowing. Picking up money that isn't yours, and spending it because you don't know who the owner is is wrong. Don't let the devil trick you to painting a wrong doing as good. Imagine if after Jesus had said,'thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God',he jumped,and thinking in his heart that I am not doing this because the devil asked me to jump, but of my own free-will. Everyone reading that story would never see it that way.
In Conclusion,
Beware of the traps of the devil. Paul said,'Resist the devil, and he will flee from thee'. Don't commit a sin and say,'I am doing it because I want to',or,'it's just a little bite',instead,quote the scripture as Jesus did, and never think towards that matter again.
