Reaction. 1, 2 How different one hour may be f rm another! 0f some people it is said that they are always the same. but we rnay well doubt if this is literally true. There are our average days when we just pied alang. There are occasional 1mountain peak moments when we see ciearly and f eel deeply. There are aise moments, perhaps hours of dejection when we are tempt- ed to give up. Are tiiese moods within or beyond our control? Our physicai and emotional states hiave somethlng to do with themn. EliJah gave way tea Sespair when he was exhausted and hungry. Peter denled his Master af ter loss of sleep. We sec the contrast in the experience of Jesus between his baptisrn and his temptatian. In the Jordan valley people were yielding ta the will of God and John the Baptist was conifirrning *heir faith. In the wtilderness, Jesus was alone. fastin3 and hav- ing the inevitabie reaction f rom his full acceptance of God's will as the rule for his life. He was alse facing the future for whlch there were no precedents. It is a great help to us to know that the Master of Lufe was tempted like as we are. Il is evidence alsa of Christ's sympathy with us in our mxoral struggies that lie told about his temptations to help )thers in their temptations. The Source of Temptations, 3-8 It hel;_is us to withstand tempt- allons if we can analyze them and trace tbem to their source. Sometimes they arise fram cir- cumnstances and we may have chosen the circumstanccs. It is the plainest Prudence flot to go w'here we know that wc are likeiy ;o be tempted or te start upon a course of action that will involve us in further temptations. The temptations rnay corne f r o m within ourselves through habits. hales or wrong desires: knowing this we may lift ourseives out of the Dark Age withln and let Christ's light shine into our nat- ures. Our 10w temptations van- ish when we look into the face of Christ. Or we may honestly at- tribute some of our temptations te a Satanlc external power that w'e feel at times but cannot in the least understand. However we nay rationalize the concept of Satan, some power is still dolng the devil's work. Vlctory Over Temptation, 9-12 The significant thing te notice in the story of the temptation li I 4.
