What was the greatest temptation that Jesus faced?

I think about him praying in the garden was He praying for Him or for Us when He was sweating blood. to face what He knew He had to face.

“If it were possible, let this cup pass from Me” (Paraphrased)

I believe that Jesus was under great distress not having the presence of God with Him. From eternity Jesus has been with the Father, but those dark hours right before He was taken by the Roman soldiers were the most heart wenching of His whole existance.

Yes we think facing some of the things we face are difficult, but We haven’t been crucified yet:)

Thank you pipet, and yes, that is what I was refering to. Jesus had to wrestle with himself, in order to face what was before him.

The blood part, shows us that it was exceedingly difficult for him. That he was certainly not looking forward to this event.

Today, we wrestle with the flesh, also, in lesser ways, but, it is same. He knew what he had to do, yet, he dreaded it with every fiber of his being.

We face sin and temptations in our lives, and have to wrestle with them, also, if we are going to have the victory that is promised in his word.

We are to become overcomers, in every area.

This is the destiny of a child of God.

To face what is hindering us, from fulfillment in him, and overcome it, thru his power.

Jesus is our example.

He faced each new challange with prayer.

He did not have the written word as we do today.

He had the spirit of the Father living within, as do we now, if we have accepted him as Lord.

turning stones into bread after a 40 day fast was another one. He always answered with scripture though. would that I could be so learned.

Lol. . . . Good one Kiasu. That would be a challanging question. Since he faced all the same temptations as us and probably some we could never conceive.

I think it must surely be the atheists on FunMail!

I thought his greatest tempatation was mary magdelene…

Not really a temptation, but as I recall, he had a good arguement with God in the Garden of Gethsemane the same evening he was arrested.

Do I recall correctly that he demanded God tell him why Gods plan meant for Jesus to die and was it really necessary?
