As the days approached, for the great revelation as to who God is (on the Cross), the temptations in the most subtlest form would have assailed Jesus. Monday, Tuesday, the last in His days of the flesh, days of foreboding, whereon His imagination would have contributed much to His sufferings. “Deliver me form the evil one” would have been the inner cry of His human heart.
“Abba Father, lead me not to succumb to temptation, deliver me from the evil one”.
Fr. Siri Oscar Abayaratne.
