You may have heard it said:
"Temptation is like bait on a hook." That's because what you are tempted by is appealing to you, it usually falls right in front of you, and there's always a hook. I’m not much of a fisherman…
let’s be real, I’m scared of
the worms...so I'm not much on fishing analogies. It is true though, that Satan will bait a hook with anything
enticing enough to get you to bite, and if you do, he’s ready, he’ll reel you in, and then you are caught…and then you die (that’s his plan anyway).
In Matthew 4:1-11, we see Jesus being tempted, just as we are. The devil will try to bait just by the lust of the flesh,
pride,
and the lust of the eyes (or greed). Glory to our Savior that He didn't bite. For Jesus, there can be no compromise with the devil.
