Day 1- 01 THE STORY

Jesus was human in every way and just like you are tempted to sin, He was tempted to sin.
Read Matthew 4:1-11. Satan tempted Jesus three times. Each time what did Jesus use to resist Satan? (look at Jesus words “it is written”… why do you and I have to know what God has written?) What was the last thing Satan asked Jesus to do? What was Jesus’ answer?

Day 2- 02 THE WITNESSES

God puts this story in the Bible because He wants you to witness Jesus’ temptation. Jesus is the only human not to sin… ever. Jesus showed that with God, you can say no to temptation. Read 1 Corinthians 10:13
God won’t let any temptation happen to you that you can’t handle. How does this encourage you?
Who will help you when you are tempted? Wouldn’t it be easier to fight temptation if you knew a friend was going to ask you about whether you gave in or not? This is called accountability!

Day 3- 03 THE SOURCE

God is not a God who sits in heaven and tells you what to do without understanding what it’s like to be you. He totally understands what you are going through.
Read Hebrews 4:15
By the way… Jesus has many names in the Bible and one of them is our High Priest.
This verse is talking about Jesus.
How can you relate to Jesus? How is Jesus different than you? Why should Jesus be your example in how to fight when you are tempted to do wrong?

Day 4- 04 THE MOTIVE

Did you know that you have the same power within you that Jesus used to resist Satan? When you believe in Jesus, the Bible tells you that you have the Holy Spirit inside of you. The Holy Spirit was the power inside of Jesus! You also have God’s Word. Jesus used scripture to fight Satan. You can fight temptation to sin by knowing what God wants for you instead of what you want for yourself.
Read 2 Peter 1:3
Circle the things that God has given you to help you fight temptation and live for God.

Day 5- 05 CAUGHT IN THE ACT

Read Ephesians 6:13-17
The word “resist” is a war term. You are a warrior against temptation and need to resist your enemy. Draw a picture of a warrior and draw the different weapons and armor God gives you to help you fight temptation and resist the devil. Use the space below
