Our Deliverer
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Temptations, trials, and testing. The Greek word can mean all three. Jesus experienced these. And so did Stephen, Paul, and Jesus' other disciples.
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
— John 16:33b

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Temptations, trials, and testing. The Greek word can mean all three. Jesus experienced these. And so did Stephen, Paul, and Jesus' other disciples. However, they never viewed these troubles as a final destination. Paul even rejoiced in his sufferings. God may lead us through broad places. And he may lead through challenges. But we can trust him to be our Deliverer. The evil one has no legitimate claim on us.
