Some passed by, some were spectators only, some engaged and others stood by the cross of Christ. Jerusalem was swollen with pilgrims, as many as 200,000 became ear and eyewitnesses to Christ's death.

Being tempted does not equate to sinning. However, the flesh, the world, and the Devil seek to lure us into sin, violating God's holy laws.

This is the battleground.
