Lyell Southwell

Confrontation

Lyell shares with us the secret of overcoming temptation – the example of Jesus.  Whilst very weak and physically vulnerable after 40 days in the wilderness, Jesus overcame a critical attack against the success of the plan of salvation.  Jesus was confronted with temptations of appetite, reputation and power, but responded with the sword of the spirit:  “It is written…” 

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Heb 4:15
