Learning From Jesus Example

Prompt: What can we learn from Jesus' example from being tempted by the devil and the way Jesus dealt with him? Jay said the devil is the author of sin and I never thought of that way before but that is a good call on that.

Jesus didn't turn against the Lord, his father when the devil tempted him. Jesus didn't have a lot to eat in the desert butt he knew his father would provide for his needs. We should trust the Lord to provide for our needs. We need to tell the devil to go away. I have yelled at the devil to leave be alone. We should never be tempted by the devil. He doesn't love us. God does and always will. I want to be strong like Jesus and always resist sin and temptation. I always pray to do right and ask God for help. I wear a cross bracelet when I go out and this is my weapon against the devil. I pray when I feel I am being tempted or misbehaved and ask for forgiveness.
