Jesus said: Pray that you don`t enter into temptation. What is temptation?

It`s a pull in the wrong direction - you feel you are pulled under by the devil that points towards one action which is wrong and might not seem so. Praying calms the emotions and gives you clarity and Jesus` hand frees you from the hand of the devil. It pulls you away from the door that would lead you in a harmful - to others and self - action. This is how prayer helps me.

Small gesture?!

He thought first of him and last of himself. I wouldn`t say it seems small. He even pleads permission from the guards to heal him. What a great lesson of love...

Peter`s heart

Heb 4:7 again he sets a certain day, Today, saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts. It`s easy to think that his heart was hardened but he was tehre all the time. I would say panic. Maybe he hoped he could do something. He denied but he was there. Where were the other disciples? Fear had hot hold of him and in fact Jesus rebukes him afterwards but he`s fully human and dares being there. Shows courage and is PRESENT. Like when he dared taking the steps in the water and the other disciples didn`t. he was afraid but trustful too. And that`s why he was chosen as the rock resting rooting in Christ. Makes you think of John leaping in Elisabeth womb - deep emotions are stirred by Jesus who became fully human and emotions are a large part of our genetic code. Isn`t his the Law of Love? aren`t we called to fight bad emotional instincts? with the help of Jesus the Weeder.
