2 Samuel 12:1-13
''The Lord sent Nathan to David. When he came to him, he said, 'There were two men in a certain town, one rich and the other poor. The rich man had a very large number of sheep and cattle, but the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food, drank from his cup and even slept in his arms. It was like a daughter to him. 'Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare a meal for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the ewe lamb that belonged to the poor man and prepared it for the one who had come to him.' David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, 'As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this deserves to die! He must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a thing and had no pity.' Then Nathan said to David, 'You are the man!...Then David said to Nathan, 'I have sinned against the Lord.' Nathan replied, 'The Lord has taken away your sin. You are not going to die.''' 2 Samuel 12:1-13 (NIV)
No One is above TEMPTATION
''No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.'' 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)
''For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin.''
Hebrews 4:15 (NIV)
We must be cautious and not FEED our TEMPTATIONS
''In the spring, at the time when kings go off to way, David sent Joab out with the king's men...but David remained in Jerusalem.'' 2 Samuel 11:1 (NIV)
''Let us throw off everything that hinders us and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.'' Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)
Temptation ACTED upon CONCEIVES SIN
''...from the roof David saw a woman ...
