The Temptation of Jesus

Temptation is such a fascinating topic. The term itself almost automatically stirs up the minds of the listener. However, it has become the tendency of the people, especially Christians, to treat "temptation" as a kind of omen or something that is negative. But the Bible assures us over and over again the truth that a temptation is not at all anything to be treated as a negative and/or destructive matter, but a necessary process to be closer to God, and ultimately to be complete. This is why our Lord Jesus Christ was tempted prior to his ministry.
