Reflections with Andy - Temptation is a Lie - John 8: 39-59

There are so many interesting things in our text today, from the insults that the religious leader hurls at Jesus to maybe the most Messianic thing Jesus ever said. But as I was reading, I was taken aback by the truth that Jesus shares with us. The devil is a liar. Every word from his mouth is a lie. That means this great truth - temptation is a lie. Always, always, always. When we understand what temptation is (a lie), we are better and more able to stand against it. Temptation promises us life, but it results in death. Temptation is a lie.
