P. 44

To  those  who  were  hungry  and  thirsty,  He


               would  bring  a  cup  of  cold  water,  and  often



               would  give  them  the  food  intended  for  His


               own meal.



               All  this  displeased  His  brothers.  They


               threatened  and  tried  to  terrify  Him,  but  He


               kept right on, doing as God had said.



               Many  were  the  trials  and  temptations  that


               Jesus  had  to  meet.  Satan  was  always


               watching to overcome Him.




               If Jesus could have been led to do one wrong


               act, or to speak one impatient word, He could


               not  have  been  our  Saviour,  and  the  whole


               world would have been lost. Satan knew this,


               and  it  was  for  this  reason  that  he  tried  so


               hard to lead Jesus into sin.



               The Saviour was always guarded by heavenly


               angels,  yet  His  life  was  one  long  struggle


               against the powers of darkness. Not one of us
