OUTLINE:

1 Cor 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man;

“those who were sitting around Him”
Jesus considered His true disciples his brothers, sisters, and mother (Mk 3:35). We ought to embrace this scene as our own, for if we were somehow transported back to that moment in time, He’d have looked into our eyes and said the same thing.

His Disciples Have His Peace
When we don't understand something in the Word, we shouldn't fret. So long as we can look in the mirror at our heart and know we are seeking Him honestly, despite our weakness and stupidity at times, we can rest in Him.

His Disciples Have His Peace
When someone is officially and legally adopted into a family, well, relationships with those in that family change! You are no longer an outsider, or a temporary visitor in someone's home... you now BELONG TO THAT FAMILY! Even the way you address others changes. Rom 8:14-17, Gal 4:4-7

Ro 8:38-39 [Message]
I'm absolutely convinced that nothing — nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable — absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

The Battle in the Flesh
Our flesh is infinitely more attracted to the things of this world than it is to the things from above.

“Diversion” - Wikipedia
A military deception designed to draw enemy strength away from a primary target.

Eph 6:16 AMP
Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].

Perspective
Since Satan has no real power over us, we must give it to him by means of our own free will in order for him to have any real influence over us. And, guess what? We do…often. :/

Perspective
The good thing is that Satan's system always ends in want, and it's very failure brings some people searching for the Lord and His simple truths.

Jas 1:15
Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.

Perspective on Sin and Death
When we think of sin, we must immediately think of death. When we think of death, we must think of where we came from, prior to our salvation. There is nothing more destitute and hopeless than spiritual death.

Perspective on Sin and Death
Satan's tempting us to give in to sin. It's his scheme to lead us to death, to lead us to reaping what we sow, and to lead us AWAY from the peace of Christ.

Perspective on Sin and Death
Be set free from the search for things that lead to death- the money, the relationships, the possessions, illegitimate sex- they all lead to situations of death. (Jn 10:10)

Perspective On Life
It's when we pursue the Lord Himself, first, that He can bless us with truly good things. And His joy is for real, leading to life, and life more abundantly. (Jn 10:10)

Jn 10:10 [Amplified Classic]
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

Jn 10:11-13
Be careful who you follow, beginning with the shepherds, for not all are from God. A true shepherd’s heart is forever protective over His sheep.

Jn 6:68
Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.”

Ps 73:25
Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.

Conviction!!!

Rom 8:16  The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

Gal 4:6 Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
