We are all made with desires that are meant to benefit us. Many of those desires have been sabotaged by sin, because satan knows very well how to destroy us. When we give in to the temptations that lead us into sin, we will fall. But as we do as Paul advises and run away from temptation, we grow in strength and godliness. The key is for us to learn how to manage our desires. Jesus taught His disciples to pray this way: “And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one” (LUKE 11:4). James said, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (JAMES 4:7). In Mark 8, we see a large crowd of people who had been with Jesus for three days and had no food to eat before they would return home. Putting His disciples to the test, Jesus told them to feed the people. Given the situation, their reaction was predictable—they did not have enough food to feed that amount of people, nor did they know how to get it. We now get to witness the timeless truth that what we are lacking, God can always provide.

Why is the message of Jesus Christ called the Good News? To understand that we should admit that there is bad news. Sin has caused so much pain, suffering and death, and it’s now a part of our everyday lives. Our world’s evil is explained very easily by sin. By contrast then, the
