Last Sunday we remembered Jesus’ Temptation. It is an important story for you. It is your story of perfection. In the verses above we read, “we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.” Jesus was perfect in all he did! He was perfect for you.

The perfection that we all lack is given to us by Jesus. He was busy as your Savior every moment of his life as he lived perfectly for you.

The result of Jesus’ perfection is that we can “approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

God wants you to live with the confidence that he hears you and will help you. He does not want you plagued by doubt or fear, but to trust that he will be with you. The proof of this is that Jesus lived perfectly for you. God views you through Jesus’ perfection.

Yes, the season of Lent is a time of repentance. But true repentance always ends in faith – faith that rests on the solid promises of God. Be at peace and live with confidence that you are God’s child and he is working for your good.

Hebrews 4:15–16 (NIV) "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
