Ye are they which have continued with Me in My
temptations.— Luke 22:28
It is true that Jesus Christ is with us in our temptations, but are
we going with Him in His temptations? Many of us cease to go with
Jesus from the moment we have an experience of what He can do. Watch
when God shifts your circumstances, and see whether you are going
with Jesus, or siding with the world, the flesh and the devil. We
wear His badge, but are we going with Him? “From that time many of
His disciples went back and walked no more with Him.”
The temptations of Jesus continued throughout His earthly life, and
they will continue throughout the life of the Son of God in us. Are
we going with Jesus in the life we are living now?
We have the idea that we ought to shield our selves from some of the
things God brings round us. Never! God engineers circumstances and
what ever they may be like we have to see that we face them while
abiding continually with Him in His temptations. They are His
temptations, not temptations to us, but temptations to the life of
the Son of God in us. The honour of Jesus Christ is at stake in your
bodily life. Are you remaining loyal to the Son of God in the things
which beset His life in you?
Do you continue to go with Jesus? The way lies through Gethsemane,
through the city gate, outside the camp; the way lies alone, and the
way lies until there is no trace of a footstep left, only the voice,
“Follow Me.”
