What is temptation? How have temptations in your life helped you in your spiritual walk with Christ? What "triggers" are most commonly the cause of temptation for you? Where are you most vulnerable to Satan’s attacks? What is your “besetting sin”? (Heb. 12:2) How do you resist temptation? What do you tell yourself when tempted? How do you use the “shield of faith”? (Eph. 6:16) How are temptations similar and different for every Christian? How can we help each other resist temptation?

This is a study of Jesus being empathetic. He could enter into the feelings of others and feel compassion for their suffering and be motivated to heal them. He felt their pain as not other could feel it.

Having only read Tolstoy from a philosophical viewpoint before, I was pleasantly surprised with this short story “The Death of Ivan Ilyich”. Something that I noticed throughout these first three chapters is that the root of Ivan’s unhappiness seems to lie in the lack of acceptance around him. Ivan seems to want his family to grasp the concept if his imminent death and respond appropriately. They don’t, however, and this fuels his bitterness. When he says “…no one felt for him, because no one even wished to grasp his position” (Tolstoy, chap. seven) I think that is a clear profession of what bothers him most about his illness. His sickness not only isolates him from other people like himself, but more than that, the people of his social class that surround him don’t make an effort to comprehend how his isolation must feel. Gerasim is the only one who doesn’t pretend that the circumstances are better than they are: “Gerasim alone did not lie” (chap. seven). That candid honesty is what brings Ivan some semblance of peace. It’s the mere acknowledgement of Ivan’s suffering that elevates Gerasim to a higher status in Ivan’s eyes.
It seemed to me that Ivan feels as if the people around him are ignoring not only his plight, but by association, Ivan himself. The inevitability of his death is being glossed over, and his family is pretending as if all will be well. Ivan’s impending death is the central aspect of his life, and when his family pretends that it is not even happening, it appears to result in the feeling that they are ignoring Ivan himself. He wishes to be “pitied like a sick child is pitied” (chap. seven) and no one is giving him that. His family is sugar-coating the severity of the situation, perhaps in an attempt to make themselves feel better about it, but in doing so, they are treating Ivan with borderline disrespect.
The daughter, Lisa, is “strong, healthy, evidently in love, and impatient with illness, suffering, and death, because they interfered with her happiness” (chap. eight). While this sounds so harsh and selfish on Lisa’s end, this was something that I understood perfectly. When I was a freshman in high school, I became good friends with a girl whose mother had cancer. I met this girl when her mother was in the late stages of her sickness, and for that reason, I never had the chance to meet the mother. One evening, while I was at a sleepover with my very best friend at the time, my father called me to tell me that the mother with cancer has passed away. Now, even though I had never even met the mom, I felt overwhelmed with guilt for having fun at this sleep.

Unit V Reflection Paper
My Vocation
I have been blessed with the gift of effective counseling, especially on social psychological problems. This gift is based on my quick ability to build trust with people and initiate open and free conversations with people. This way, I can easily let people open up and share what they are going through. In me, I bear the gifts of love and kindness. I have always been concerned about the mental health of others, especially those in psychological situations that have limited their abilities in life. I have an ingrained commitment towards reaching them and attempting to extricate them from these life-limiting conditions. I have always done this since my early years in school basing this commitment on the biblical teachings in Proverbs 31:8-9 that, as Christians, we should speak up for the rights of the poor and defend their rights.
I am passionate about seeing people who regain their smiles again after mentally and spiritually bruising battles. This life is full of challenges, evils, and obstacles that impede man's happiness and fulfillment. Many individuals have indelible memories that prevent them from achieving happiness and being socially productive in the course of supporting others. I have, therefore, many times taken it upon myself to help these people overcome these challenges and revert to their healthy lives. Studies have revealed that the most significant potential limiting situations are those of bitterness, anger, regret, anxiety, rivalry, and even self-doubts (Wachholtz & Fitch, 2018). These factors cause shame, negative and self-destructive energy, and low energy and zeal to perform tasks and responsibilities.
My greatest joy has been in seeing people regain their strength and reverting to their desired positive courses. According to the South African bishop Desmond Tutu, all human beings are born with the innate desire to do well and help others (Best et al., 2015). Therefore, I have found self-fulfillment not only in helping people recover from unfavorable circumstances but also in seeing them realize their positive missions in this world and embarking on them. These people have become part of my life, and I thank God because their success stories have always provided so much comfort, that I have always found spiritual renewal every morning.
I believe I have been called to help people overcome all forms of psychological torture. The calling demands that I put all possible efforts to liberate these people, including doing advocacy communication, speaking truth to authorities about the emotional suffering people, and even taking the initiative to do psychotherapy to these people. A divine calling provides one with the zeal and energy to serve and renews this commitment in the face of whatever adversity (Panchuk, 2018). This calling has helped me overcome many hurdles that have come.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
