How Temptation Works (2 Kings 18)
Chase Replogle
Pastor
With Israel defeated, Assyria turned its attention to Judah and Jerusalem. But before they launched their assault, they offered the people a path to peace. They reasoned with them to side with Assyria. Given Assyria’s power and skilled propaganda, it was a very real temptation.
2 Kings 18 helps us better understand the true nature of all temptations and why temptations can be so difficult to recognize.
