Distress Favourable to Temptation
Luke 4:2-4
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungry.…


For as at that time the devil came upon Christ when hunger pinched Him, so where we are in any distress we arc to look for temptations.

(Bishop Andrewes.)
