📖 What are the three categories of temptation that every human being faces — and how did Jesus overcome them all? 1 Corinthians 10:13-17 holds the answer.
✝️ In this verse-by-verse study, Paul continues his warning to the Corinthians by revealing that every temptation falls into just three categories: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Les traces these three temptations all the way back to Eve in Genesis 3:6, where Satan used the same three approaches — the tree was good for food (lust of the flesh), pleasant to the eyes (lust of the eyes), and desired to make one wise (pride of life). Then he shows how Jesus faced the exact same three temptations in Matthew 4 — turning stones to bread (flesh), casting Himself from the temple (eyes), and ruling all kingdoms (pride). Hebrews 4:14-16 reveals we have a High Priest who was tempted in all points like we are, yet without sin, so we can come boldly to the throne of grace. The study closes with 1 Corinthians 10:14-17, where Paul shifts to the Lord's table — the communion of Christ's blood and body.
