    Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 16, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,695 views

    Think about how we would describe Jesus, based on what we know. All we have are snapshots of His life, not a full biography. Who is Jesus Christ?

    One day a little girl was drawing a picture, and even skipped recess because she was so focused upon it. Her teacher asked what she was doing and she said she was drawing a picture of God. “Oh honey, you can’t do that...no one knows what God looks like.” She held up the picture ...read more

    The Temptations Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 21, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,572 views

    The temptations expose our vulnerabilities. Beware of the devil's traps of performance (we are what we do), popularity (we are what others think), and possession (we are what we have).

    Jesus was tempted, so are we today. Jesus overcame the temptations, so can we today. • Even under a direct confrontation with the devil, alone in the wilderness, under harsh circumstances, Jesus won. If the devil tempts Him these ways, it would possibly mean that these were good entry ...read more
