 "Tempted? So Was Jesus.” John 6: 43 - 71
from The Word Is Grace
July 20, 2008
Just as the Israelites grumbled about manna, Jesus’ disciples grumbled about His claim to be the “True bread of heaven.” After that, many of them turned away from following Him. When Jesus asks if the 12 want to leave also, Peter comes to the rescue and speaks the words that each one of us should take to heart, “To where would we go? You have the words of eternal life.” This week we encounter yet another time where our Master eludes to His being the Messiah, and we see another Passover connection. This week, Jesus makes a distinction between the people asking Him questions, and Himself - He tells them that His Father (who is alive) is the one who gave their fathers manna in the wilderness; their fathers ate the manna and are dead. We also learn that the synagogue where these things took place had a pot of manna, grape clusters and vines engraved in the lintel above the front door. It is always exciting when archeology substantiates the claims of the bible! Finally, we learn that Jesus was tempted with every temptation known to man. If you are going through tough times, and find it hard to fight temptation, know that our Master, Yeshua went through it too. We must never forget that! He went through the same struggles – only He did not sin. That is one of the many awesome things about Him; He was tempted beyond imagination, yet never sinned. Let’s remember that the next time we find ourselves going through unbearable temptation, because those times WILL come. Remember that He went through it too… and didn’t sin. Praise the LORD, He didn’t sin! Shabbat Shalom!
