The Temptation Of Jesus - Part 2

Contributed by James Snyder on Mar 11, 2013

Our temptations will never compromise our relationship with God, but will bring to the surface God's amazing grace for us in times of need. With every temptation comes a stream of God's amazing grace flowing in our direction.
