He taught that temptation often comes after a spiritual high or in moments of weakness, just as Jesus was led into the wilderness and fasted forty days. Pastor Ben pointed to Jesus’ responses to temptation, declaring “It is written” and affirming that we are called to worship the Lord and serve Him only. He encouraged us that God is faithful and always provides a way out (1 Corinthians 10:13) as we endure temptation.\n✍️ Notes\nTitle: When Temptation Comes – Ben Johnson\nMatthew 4:1-11 (NKJV)\nThen Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.” Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.” Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.\n1.
