Greater Than Temptation

John 14:12

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Matthew 4:1

1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

It is common used to say that we can perform all the miracles Christ did. I am not disagreeing with you, but what I want to point out is what Christ went through in the wilderness. He was tempted and he overcame it. So, if he said that we are to do greater than he did, why do we say we are overcome with temptation? It is because Christians are forgetting that Jesus made us greater than the temptation that we face. So, stop thinking it is greater than you. Stop thinking that it is hard to overcome it. Remember Jesus over came the temptation in the wilderness, so you can overcome what tempts you.
