lightbulbThe bait always looks good — that's the whole point. Even Jesus got tempted
The Greek word 'peirasmos' can mean both 'testing' (from God, to strengthen) and 'temptation' (from the enemy, to destroy). James 1:13-14 clarifies: God doesn't tempt anyone, but He allows testing. Jesus was tempted in the wilderness for 40 days and overcame every one. Hebrews 4:15 says He was 'tempted in every way, just as we are — yet he did not sin.'
