Trust in Jesus’ Love (Hebrews 4:15-16)

“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.“ (Hebrews 4:15-16.)

When a tragedy happens in our lives and we face any kind of trial we feel very disappointed and we automatically blame Jesus. We say why Jesus let this happen to me? We begin to wonder if His love is real. We doubt His love for us. Jesus never said that His love for us means that everything always goes right in our lives. On the contrary He warned us in the Gospel of John, chapter sixteen, saying, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33.)

Jesus told us that we live in a broken world which is under the authority of the devil, our enemy. He came to steal, destroy, and slaughter us. He will wage war with us. But, in Jesus we will have peace. In Jesus means, to be united with Jesus in order to overcome the devil and all his trials and schemes against us. He is the only One who overcame the devil on the cross. He came to save us from our enemy because He loves us. He has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet He did not sin. He defeated sin and death. He died on the cross carrying all the burden of our sins, in His body, our body, and He rose up.

St. Paul said, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”(Romans 5:8.) The proof of God’s love is that He dealt with our greatest malady, which was our sinful condition. If He would have left us in that condition, we would have been separated from Him forever.

St James told us in his epistle, chapter one,”When tempted, no one should say, ‘God is tempting me.’ For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.”(James 1:13-14.)

So when we face the devil’s trials we first check ourselves and see the sin that let the devil, our accuser, been able to stretch his hand and hit us with His spirits of illness, depression, etc,. Satan is very wicked and he is the one who tempts us and destroys our lives and then whispers in our ears and says ” where is Your God. Why He did not save You,”

We, the true children of God, when facing any trial we have to do two things. First, we have to go to Jesus and ask for His Spirit of discernment to know if what is happening to us is due to sin or not. If it is because of a sin that we did that led the devil been able to struck us, we quickly repent and ask for Jesus’ mercy and forgiveness. If it is due to the devil’s persecution, waging a war against us, we rebuke the devil’s attack and pray in the precious and almighty name of Jesus to come to restore all what the devil has destroyed.

May we all be united with Jesus and be filled with His eternal life to defeat the devil our enemy. Amen.
