Temptation Mistaken for Opportunity

A prominent politician says that we should not mistake temptation for opportunity. This is a timely caution, and, while he applies it to political affairs, it applies with equal force to the individual, and especially to the Christian. The adversary places before us many temptations of a flattering and plausible nature, and would fain have us believe that they are providential opportunities. Such was the character of the temptation of Christ, when Satan offered to give Him all the kingdoms of the world. But anything gained through worldly temptation will eventually prove a loss.
