Are the temptations common to all people the same for everyone?
Yes, the temptations common to mankind are the same for every individual—every man, woman, boy, and girl on earth. They are not unique to certain people. The Lord Jesus Himself faced them all, so He knows and understands what every person experiences.
Les explains that because we live in this world, nothing comes our way except what is common to man. Even when we are unfaithful, God is faithful; He will not permit us to be tested above what we are able to withstand. With the testing, He also makes a way of escape so we can bear it. Les illustrates this with a Greek picture of an army trapped in a canyon: when escape seems impossible, the commander finds a side canyon. Likewise, God will reveal the way out at the appropriate time. Les says the temptations common to every man, woman, boy, and girl are the same for every individual, and the Lord Jesus faced them all, so He knows because He has been there.
