DEVOTIONAL
God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. When we are tempted to do anything against God’s Law, no matter what it is—we’re tempted to think that ultimately it’s up to us to get out of it. We wonder if maybe God leads us to this point so that we can show Him how good we are at keeping His Law. We think that we’ll find some way out of it by our own cunning and strength. After all, “God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
But you are not the way out of temptation, out of your own sin, out of the messes you make. Repent of thinking and acting that way. Jesus is the way of escape, for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus brought you out of the Egypt of your sins. He saved you from the ancient pharaoh, the devil. By His death and resurrection He has opened the way to everlasting life. When we’re tempted, He is our way of escape. His temptation, His cross, His empty tomb are yours. These overcome the crafts and assaults of the devil, the world, and our own flesh. Jesus overcame every temptation. And when you fall into temptation, when you give in and sin, He is your way of escape. His way is still your way until the temptations cease, and you’re with Him forever, never to be tempted again.
Keep the Law. It’s what God calls us to do, but when you’re tempted to do otherwise, look to Jesus. He was tempted for you. When you fall into sin, look to Jesus. He suffered, died, and rose for you. His way of escape leads through an empty tomb (yours!), and then you will live before Him in everlasting righteousness, innocence, and blessedness. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
As true as God’s own Word is true, Not earth nor hell’s satanic crew Against us shall prevail. There might? A joke, a mere facade! God is with us and we with God—Our vict’ry cannot fail. (O Little Flock, Fear Not the Foe, LSB 666:3)
