D A I L Y G O S P E L
Even Jesus assures us that we will be tempted. We cannot hope to avoid temptation. If we never experience temptation then we are probably already dead. Temptations do not hold any real fears for men and women of faith because we know that Christ has given us the power of the Holy Spirit and the victory of His cross to overcome them. Let us seek to use these gifts whenever necessary so that we will not succumb to the wiles of the devil ever again.
Luke 17:1-6
1 Jesus said to his disciples, “Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the person through whom they occur. 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3 Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’ you should forgive him.” 5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” 6 The Lord replied, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”
