Did Jesus Experienced Sexual Temptation?

In speaking of Jesus, the Bible, the word of Jehovah said: “For we have not a High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet was without sin.”

This text implied, that Jesus our High Priest who was man yet God, who lived and dwell in the habitation of man (human) and among man was subject to all of the emotion and all of the passions that we are exposed to. We all know as man we experienced a diverse range of emotions and passions. It is important to understand, Jesus in his humanity, experienced each of these passions and he did so without sinning.

It should be clear that Jesus was man and he was also God; and even when he was on earth, he possessed his Godly powers. How else could he have done such humanly impossible miracles? However, he was not permitted to use such powers for his own human benefit and he was not allowed to use his Godly powers against the devil, he to had to depend upon his father as we have to do. Hence the reason, all of his miracles was performed in the name of service to humanity. Jesus did all in his power to alleviate human suffering, which raned from; dealing with grief when He raise Lazarus and the little maid from the dead, He alleviated physical agony when he cleanse the leaper, cast out the demons from those who were plagued with and by such, He alleviated hopelessness when healed the men who were incapacitated, after he was let down through the roof, the blind was made to see at his hands; he restore vigor to the faint when he fed the five thousand men plus women and children, he kept his friends out of prison when he cause them to pay their taxes but providing the money in the mouth of a fish and he relieve fear when he ordered the wind and the wave to be still, calming the angry sea.

We know that one of the passions that man is unable to deal with is the passion of hunger. Many people tend to get angry and commit all manner of crimes to quiet their pains of hunger. Jesus proved that food was essential but not all important, Jesus was not one who crave food, for on a regular basis, he will fast (go without food) for periods up to forty days. In one instance, after Jesus came off a forty days fast, The Devil accosted and tempted Him in a period that is man weakest points and was to be Jesus’ also. He offering Jesus a quick opportunity to alleviate the pains of the extreme hunger that he was experiencing. Although Jesus was experiencing sever pain of hunger, he ignored the hunger pain and took the opportunity to put the devil in his place, using the word of Jehovah.

Many people take upon themselves the unnecessary responsibility, to do all in their power to defend Jehovah and Jesus. They take steps to protect the character and words of the creator and redeemer. We must know, that neither Jehovah nor Jesus want or depends on us to defend them, protect their character and or their words; however, what he requires of us are: that we become obedient to his every will; his written and his reveal will.

The big question is; was Jesus tested in the most overwhelming passion that man is subjected to: the sexual passion? I will boldly declare yes, Jesus was tested sexually but as the bible said, yet without sin. Although the bible did not clearly state the instance when Jesus was so tempted, it can be known by intelligent spirit guided deduction.

Let me lay the foundation before I use biblical reference and practical example of the instance when Jesus was tempted sexually. We are aware that professionals has the uncanny ability, to take their profession where ever they go. Let us say for example, a police officer out with his wife; he will detect a suspicious action even if he is not looking for it. A doctor or an EMT will be able to detect a potential medical emergency even when they are not looking for one, a lawyer can see a potential law suit even when he is not looking for one, a mechanic can detect and diagnose the problem a vehicle is having without listening (a choice to purposeful and deliberate attempt to focus attention to a sound) to the engine but by hearing (to be expose to a sound) it. It is important to know that all of the professionals above when they unconsciously detect a possible problem, their subconscious would have already devise a response to that medical, legal, criminal or machanical problem. Hence the reason why one in such a situation response is so effective; this is so because, their subconscious have already devise an appropiate response base on the knowledge, training and experience of the professional. It is a fact that our formal and informal training comes out when we are participating in none professional activities; for such become impulsive or reactionary.

Do you agree with the above theory?

Let us say for example, if you asked a doctor to massage your hands, although you will get a hand massage, it will be done like an examination, for it is what he or she knows. A doctor has hands that are trained to detect abnormalities by touching. In the same way, if you asked a physical therapist to masseuse your hand; he will massage it with the objective of preparing you for strength and repair. Now in the same manner, if your hand is massaged by a prostitute, because of the nature of her job that person will massage your hand sensually with a view to arouse sexual passions in you, because that is what she or he knows. We all know that sensuality stimulates ones sexual desire. In other words it is natural for one to impulsively practice what they know. Do you agree with this idea?

A story is told in the Gospel, of a woman who was reputed to be a prostitute and she wanted to show an act of gratitude to Jesus; for delivered her from a life of the sexual degradation and for teaching he how to live a life of decency and obedience to Jehovah. Although the scriptures did not say how long and how much partners this lady had, we know that she was a woman who earn her living from prostitution. So from her practice she knew how to sexually stimulate a man. Her hands were trained in this technique. I will like to believe, any time she touched a man, it was to ensure, that man derive pleasure from her touch.

In Luke 7:38 it reads: “and she stood behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with her tears and did dry them with the hair of her head and kiss his feet and anoint them with oil.

Let us analyzed this text and examine such practically. The woman was crying this means that she was not in total control of her faculties, for her mental control was weakened or overtaken by an overwhelming sense of gratitude and emotion. Such emotions often throw people off of their game plan. It causes momentary laps in memory, nervousness, and in some cases an inability to compose ones self. In such cases, most people are rendered helpless and are unable to function; however, in a few cases instinct step in and we are able to complete an assignment purely out of instinct, muscle memory or routein.

I will like to suggest that this woman in her state of emotional confusion and blinded by teats acted out of instinct; her training kicked in and her sensual fingers did what they did best. I am in no way suggesting, that it was the intention, of this ex-prostitute to sexually seduce Jesus but rather, in her effort to show her appriciation, she respectfully did what she knew best. Remember to be tempted is not to sin, and because you are tempted do not make you any less a man or woman than you are; or in Jesus’ case it did not make him any less God. Also because your good intention prove to be a temptation to another do not make you a devil.

To be tempted is not sin but to yield to temptation is an infringement on us or anyone who so do. The good thing about Jesus is how he saw us human. You react to people and thing base on how you view them. If you look at women as a sexual object, then you will be motivated to become sensual with them; like wise, if your awaken days and sleeping hours, are spend devising plans and dreaming of how you can sexually exploit that person then any harmless word or action will prove to be a temptation that will cause you to fall if not in the flesh, you may fall in your mind. If any man look upon a woman as to lust at her have have committed adultary in his heart. If you see a person, as your personal bank, then you are always planning how you can get money from that person. The way you perceive an individual determines your action and reaction to that person.

Many preachers today, are incapable of seeing the sheep they are called or volenteer to Sheppard as people who need a savior, as people who need direction, as people who need understanding, as people who need to be cared for, as people who need attention, as people who need support and as people who need love. Many such so call spiritual leaders see their congregation as people who need to be trastise, so the leaders beat up their congregation each week with their sermons, some see their congregation as a group of people who are put under their care, to satisfy their financial needs, so they come up with all manner of plans to solicit monies from their congregation; there are some who see their congregants as sex tools and so they forget about Jehovah’s law and they continually sexually exploit the members.

Jesus saw Mary as one who was in need of a savior and he was able to be that to and for her, He saw Mary as one who needed forgiveness for her sins and He was capable of doing that for her, He knew that Mary needed one to believed in and He was able to be that constant fixture that never changes, that she can believe in and never be disappointed; Jesus knew that Mary need to be save in his Kingdom; fortunately for her that was what he came to earth for. So when Mary’s sensual fingers was massaging Jesus’ feet he did not see her as a sexy woman but he saw her as one who needed his help, the type of help that his father send him to provide to all mankind; the type of help only he could provide. So Jesus’ sexual temptation was not done by design but was done ignorantly but most of all it was done out of a pure love, appreciation and heart felt gratitude for Jesus.
