Emphasis Preaching Journal

When we think of Jesus as having no sin and yet being tempted in every way that we are, I think of President Carter losing a lot of support when he confessed, "I have lusted." If Jesus was temped in every way that we are temped, then he must have looked at a pretty girl and even wanted her. Maybe it was Mary Magdalene, as that one terrible book suggested. He must also have been tempted to broadcast his message as Satan suggested by jumping off the temple roof and having the angels catch him. That would have won him the election!
