To start, I think that everyone in South Surrey thought today was Sunday, instead of Saturday, because we were that busy. Add that to everyone and their dog phoning for a reservation for tomorrow (Mother's day, the SuperBowl of all days in restaurant land) and it was non-stop all day.
A bit of quiet time at home, and I have looked up today's passage.
I see this as a very uplifting bit of scripture. It points out that our Saviour lived life on this Earth, and had to live through the same temptations that we are faced with every day. Well, maybe not every temptation, I'm sure there were no Porche 911 twin turbo's or 52 inch LCD HDTV with Gold Plated Inputs and 1080pi. (is that even a real feature, 1080pi?) I'm sure there was the equivalant though, and I'm sure that he knows how much we might want these toys. The point is, he went through it. Sure, he was able to live a sinless life, but he was the Son of God, so we can't be expected to live up to those standards. God wants us to, and we need to try as much as we can to be sinless, but God knows as well as we do that it is impossible, that is why Jesus came to save us.
"Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need". (Heb 4:16)
An we are all in a time of need, and all we need to do is ask Him for help.
