Matt 4:1-11 Part 2

Discipleship Habit 05 Accountability
Discipleship Reflection Question: Do you meet with others for mutual accountability where these is confession of sin on a regular basis?
Matt 4:1-11 Part 2
• One disturbing aspect of Matt 4:1 is that Jesus was led into a place where he was then tempted. We are told in James 1:13 that God does not tempt, but in the book of Job (See Job 1:6 and following) we find that God may give permission to Satan to tempt us.
• How does this make your feel? What questions does it raise in your mind?
• We are told in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that we are not tempted beyond what we can handle? What does this tell you about when you have failed in the past?
• Read 1 John 2:1-2. We are encouraged not to sin, but if we do to confess and go to Jesus because he speaks to God the Father on our behalf.
• Spend some time in prayer seeking forgiveness and asking God to give you wisdom and strength to face and beat temptation in your life.
