What was the Lord’s view of temptation?
The Lord saw temptation as a very real and very great danger, never as a minor interruption or as something enjoyable, but as a genuine threat to spiritual well-being. He repeatedly reminded His disciples of it and challenged them to be constantly alert to the things by which they were tempted. Because of that danger, He saw temptation as a cause for disciplined prayer.
